Miracle Beats -- It says it all ....

The song in the middle and end is "Take Me" by Mimi & Teft

Hey Guys ... so I was VERY fortunate to have the amazing experience of having a video shot on the new Red One video camera a couple of months ago ... the video is going to be released in a few weeks!

First off ...

This camera is nuts (and expensive)!! Imagine, for moment, that you could take a Canon 5d and make it snap photos at 24 frames a second .... that's right! 12mp at 24 frames a second. But wait! There's more. It can not only double, but triple that speed!! In the movie industry they call this resolution "4k". It's basically 35mm film, only saved to compact flash card!

Some stills ...

Ok, so these aren't 4k stills ... not even standard definition stills! But they're (more...)

Finally! Another 1 hour song! We've been trying to find time to do another tuneback for weeks ... but we made it happen two days ago! And this time with one of my best friends, Jesse Janzen. Jesse has been known to collaborate with us from time to time, so we thought it'd be perfect (since he's in town) to bust out a 1 hour song. A little background on Jesse: Actor, Lives in LA, brilliant writer, can be seen in various movies such as Crywolf.

Our first 1 hour song was a success. So much of a success that we've decided to put a remastered version of "Delicious" (more...)

Recently, Judy (Mom) came back from a spiritual retreat. A lot of it focused on what messages mother Earth is giving to us (mankind). We had written this ambient track a while ago (last September) and shelved it because it didn't fit the artistic vision of “Mimi & Teft”. When Judy got back, she was inspired by all these messages from Earth and had the perfect set of lyrics for this nearly forgotten song, titled “This Old Heart”. Take a listen ...

In Judy's own words ... (more...)

I recently found a blogger talking about doing a "Tuneback", which is basically a song conceived, written, and knocked out in 1 hour. SO, we decided "what the hell!" and give it a shot. It was really enlightening, because it forced us to make decisions that we usually end up spending a few hours on (instead of several minutes!)

The song is called "Delicious" and has a very sexy Electronic/Dance vibe. All done in one hour, in Logic Pro, take a listen ...

Whoa! First post. Feels good. I finally joined the blogging band wagon! So I decided to first talk about the process of writing a second album.

I'm part of a duo known as "Mimi & Teft" ... we do electronic/pop/dance ... Our first EP got a lot of praise. Soooo, naturally a second release is in order! But, when your writing material as "artists" you always want to feel like your pushing the envelope creatively. Hitting that creative mark is always a strange process. We set a deadline of May 31st 07 to have the second release complete ... but, lo and behold we weren't read at all!! Frustrating, but very good. Because in the end we want it to rock
