HousE of EchO -LIVE- Video

The House of EchO sound is an ambitious hybrid of rock and roll infused with soul music.

This video is of a live on air performance for Comcast SportNet Television which was hosted at Champs in Reston VA. It captures the fun spirit, intense musicianship as well as how good this band is live!!



A major buzz is growing swiftly about the bands high-powered live performances; passion is clearly evident as they introduce original music to a growing audience several times a month. House of EchO is currently Washington DCs best-kept secret, but not for long.
Would you like to hear more??? Ok, just visit House Of EchO at www.houseofecho.com

Special thanks to Brad at Studio 51 for his assistance in recording and production.

Indescribable -Sync- Video

Indescribable

a concept video that Melting Earth calls a "sync video”; originally created with a "click" track (metronome) in the left channel so that a drummer & band can play live to this video and stay in time - this demo version includes the stereo track as well as some sound FX (originally in the right channel so they could be added to the house mix of the band).

originally produced by P3T3RK3Y5 at the request of a friend to be used for the opening of a new church facility - it has since received a lot of attention.



the song is of course Chris Tomlin's version of Indescribable - and the lyrics are very literal (not very metaphorical - e.g. a river is a river, not freedom). i really tried to stretch the video story in new directions. Much of my inspiration is from Brian Green's Book "The Elegant Universe" (...if you can think of a more God-glorifying name for a book than that - let me know!!)... but also based on my own training. e.g. the cool looking formula's you see are “Maxwell's Equations”, and they govern everything about light electricity and magnetism - or “electro-magnetic fields”. I studied those four equations for two semesters in my undergrad engineering coursework, but didn’t get a very good grade from my “fields” teacher.

Melting Earth has many more idea’s for sync videos - but the start up costs for producing these is astronomical. Would you like to see more??? Let us know!!!

Pride -Parable- Video

This is a concept video originally created by Wayne - a "modern day parable". That is, the concept starts with a biblical truth (in this case, similar to the man who built his house on the sand), but is reinterpreted (artistically, faithfully) to speak to the same truth with a new story-line that resonates more significantly (in an earth-melting way) given the context of twentieth century culture.



This was created with all original source material (thus this video can be distributed) - Wayne created the video track (he originally scored it with a Moby tune) and P3T3RK3Y5 re-scored it with his own cool spooky vibey soundtrack.

Melting Earth has about 50 modern day parable concepts developed - the question is: do you want more??? let us know!!!
