I recently discovered Tim Exile through Warp Records YouTube Channel, and I must say that any song that integrates a clever tempo modulation seems to catch my attention. I mean, really catches my attention – maybe it’s the music nerd in me? I’m not sure, but in any case, I’ve been listening to Family Galaxy by Tim Exile over and over – I’m not even sure if there’s much I like other than the tempo modulations… In any case, thought I’d share.
Here it is: Tim Exile “Family Galaxy”
My fiance Christine Latvala and myself both created videos for the 2009 Homegrown Music Video Festival in Duluth, MN. The filmmakers who participated in the festival drew songs from previous Homegrown compilation CDs out of a hat and had to create a music video over the weekend.

Christine’s film: The Alrights “Happy Birthday Universe”
My film: The Keep Aways “Rivalry”
Enjoy!
Huff & Rapsys have released a music video for their track Daylight Savings, which can be viewed on YouTube: Huff & Rapsys – Daylight Savings video
I shot and edited the video, Huff & Rapsys (consisting of Jesse Huff and myself) wrote/performed the music (Huff & Rapsys on MySpace).
A new short film by Christine Latvala and myself will be playing at the Duluth Playground’s Short Shorts Film Festival. Here is some more info about the film:
A short film satirizing reality television, celebrities and pop culture through parody on several different levels. Written by Christine Latvala & Ryan Rapsys. Music and Sound Design by Ryan Rapsys.

I finally put most of my experimental videos up on YouTube. 10 different videos are now available at my playlist: Videos by Ryan Rapsys – YouTube Playlist
Many of these videos explore the relationship between editing and rhythm in music in various forms. Hope you enjoy them, and feel free to give general comments about them here!
Also, Minnesota’s North Shore by Craig Blacklock (and original music that I composed) is airing a number of times on Twin Cities Public Television. To see when it’s playing (it’s airing in High Definition), go here: TPT – Minnesota’s North Shore
Copy & Paste, a short experimental video that I created, is now available at YouTube: Copy & Paste. Created entirely in Adobe Premiere Pro, including the music. Enjoy, and feel free to comment!
A short experimental film I created entitled Copy & Paste will premiere at the 3rd Annual Duluth Short Shorts Film Festival in Duluth at the Playground tonight. The film is a type of experimental music video where all of the sounds are derived from the sounds in the video–I composed the entire work in the Adobe Premiere Pro editing software. The festival begins at 7pm (tickets go on sale at 6pm – $5) and promises to be highly entertaining. Check it out if you are available!
