charleskuzmanovic.com – my personal site

I created this site some time ago. FTP account set, one more time. I want to redesign this site and add a couple of features.

From back in the day when I had my own tiny netlabel, I still have some excellent contacts to musicians worldwide.

So the idea is, to kind of bring a part of it back to life.

Let’s wait, code and see.

Motion Graphics – Example Nr. 303 – “Room 606” @Radar5Media

This motion graphics experiment was made with Maxon’s Cinema 4D. I built a room and placed a couple of objects inside. After working with keyframes to make the animations, I rendered the short clip and imported it to Adobe Premiere. Once there, I added one of my own sound samples and worked with a couple plugins to achieve this certain look.

Take a look and enjoy this tiny ride into a slightly different setting.

Nine Inch Nails – 2013-08-18 Hockenheim, Germany, Rock ‘n’ Heim Festival – Complete Broadcast

Hey folks, I just wanted to drop by and share this amazing performance of one of my favorite “bands”.

This is Nine Inch Nails, LIVE at the Rock ‘n’ Heim Festival (August, 18th 2013)

 

I’m a die-hard NIN/Trent Reznor fan, ever since I saw the “Head Like A Hole”-Video on MTV back in 1989.

I saw NIN twice on stage, getting ready for the third live-experience as soon as they come back.

Enjoy this one!

 

Update:

Here’s a collage from my apt. (Duesseldorf, 2004) of a girl I knew.

In the background, on the wall – there’s a print: “Mean People Suck – Nine Inch Nails”

Fake Plastic Heads – Now I Know Why You Want To Destroy Yourself

Here’s the 6th and brand new track from my EP “Music For Film”:

 

Brand New Photos From The Chiemsee Rocks Festival 2013 – With Deftones and Sick of it All

We’ve been at the Chiemsee Rocks Festival in Übersee on Wednesday, August 21st!

We’ve seen bands like SICK OF IT ALL, DEFTONES and CALLEJON and had an absolutely fantastic time!

Here’s a tiny gallery with a couple of shots:

Sick of it All will be playing at the Chiemsee Rocks Festival on August 21st!!!

Als ich noch etwas jünger war, gehörte New York Hardcore zum Musiksortiment – das ist zwar lange her, aber die Jungs von Sick of it All sind immer noch da und machen somit eine kleine Zeitreise möglich. Ich freu mich riesig auf deren Auftritt auf dem Chiemsee Rocks Festival und kann es kaum erwarten, die “Jungs” live zu sehen!
Hier ein kleiner Vorgeschmack mit zwei Klassikern:

 

Chiemsee Rocks – am 21.08.2013 – Die Ärtze, Deftones, Sick of it All, NOFX, uvm!

Tuned in to Roots Manuva and just about to login to Lynda.com

As I am using Spotify Premium, it’s quite tricky to obtain a certain amount of strategic targeting in terms of new music. Playlists are fun, yeah, so I keep creating them, but I didn’t find the right time to sort them in an intelligent way yet.

So basically, I’m dragging complete albums to the playlists section. It’s ok for now. Here’s the plan: reducing complete albums and sorting songs to fit certain moods and states of mind.

The current mood? Hip-hop-ish. Tuned in to a Roots Manuva album. I’ve seen him and his crew perform at a festival in Cologne some time ago. There was this party after the festival ended. It’s was quite impressive: seeing mister Roots Manuva making his way through the crowd.

I don’t know which of his sensors were still working properly, but he made it. I wish I had take a snapshot, just for you guys to see what I’m talking about. I don’t know what kind of drugs he had been taking – it was quite a sight. Never mind.

So now I’m tuned in to his album “4everevolution” – switching to some of his classic tunes. Like: “Tears” – from “Dub Come Save Me”!

And in the meantime, I did some photo processing:

Coming up: logging in to my Lynda.com account to get an extra dose of inspiration.

What in the World are They Spraying – feat. Guy Williams, Jr. – [new music]

Hey guys, I haven’t updated this site for quite a few years now. So I thought, a couple of decades ago: let’s work on a new track with U.S. spoken word artist Guy Williams, Jr.

Ok, two weeks have passed. I haven’t slept for hours. Time to finish this day with an extra posting about my Fake Plastic Heads.

Fact: Guy’s an extremely talented artist! We’ve worked a couple of years ago on an album (2006/2007).

As time passed (sort of) – we had more to say, audio-visually speaking.

Turn up that volume and enjoy this brand new production:
