This Is Where the Fish Lives’ site has re-located. (I will insert a notice on the old sub-domain shortly.)

Back in the studios?

Possibly.
Taking to a friend over e-mail (or a FB-like substitution of said) about collaborating via e-mail correspondence on more silent avant-garde film music, since the Italo Disco remixes of “Music for Un Chien Andalou” have completely fallen through, and I’d planned on doing a non-TIWtFL EP or something of avant-garde music, anyway.
Yes, I'm rather immature. Funny you should mention that….

So it occurred to me a few hours ago — we’ve all heard “I’m Like To Teach the World To Sing” and thought “I’d Like To Teach the World to Shit”. But I finally had the guts to do it.
In addition to “I’d Like To Teach the World to Sing” by The New Seekers, samples used are from an mp3 I found entitled “Casey Kasum temper tantrum” and from the opening them to Bagpuss
I assure you, I'm working on my own stuff….

Just figured I should give all two people reading this a taste of some of the stuff that’s influenced what I want to do with This Is Where the Fish Lives.
OK, maybe this isn’t the most accurate Evolution Control Committee track for translation into what I want to do with TIWtFL, but The ECC is influential, nonetheless (and Chuck D is probably the greatest rapper ever; and just in case you weren’t aware, if you replace “Chuck Norris” with “Chuck D” on that fucking meme, it’s all completely true).
“Rocked By Rape” is probably the better influence. If you are one of the few people alive who still hasn’t heard either one of these, you must hear them now.
music for Un Chien Andalou
Monday, July 27, 2009
music for Un Chien Andalou by Ruadhan J McElroy & Jason Crowe from Ruadhan McElroy on Vimeo.
If you want a DVD-R copy of this, e-mail me. All I ask for it in return in a donation of what you feel the music is worth — if you think Jason and I did $5 worth of work, sweet! If you think we did a $50 job on the soundtrack, even better!
Please Not: This is technically NOT a “This Is Where the Fish Lives” project. It was originally intended to be a TIWtFL / Pandable collaboration, but long story short, Jason and I ended up too proud of this thing to not do it under our real names.
New Machine, but you may still be permitted to rage against or even ignore it.

New copmputer is now up and running. Still, it could use a couple shiny new thinglets, so if you’re on NewEgg.com, feel free to love me with money — and by all means, consider yourself a patron of the arts by doing so!
Well, we all shine on, don't we, Mr. Robinson?

Yes, I realise that it’s been nearly a year since I’ve updated this, but there has been a lot of bullshit in that time, most of which I’d've rather not dealt with, but rather had to.
So, here’s the skinny:
1) have Un Chien Andalou sync’d up with the film and will upload this to google in the next couple of days.
2) launching new computer this weekend, which is why y’all have to wait a couple days.
3) as for purchasing a copy of Un Chien Andalou, it seems it’s in this “yes, but no” area as to whether or not UCA as lapsed into public domain. What led this was a re-release in 1960 with the music selected by Buñel, which effectively refreshed the copyright, though silent prints may technically be public domain, despite this. Basically, as much as I’d like to, I can’t sell DVDs of Un Chien Andalou with the music over Amazon (which I’d really like to), but I can sell copies here and at SexyHobbitSuperstar.com, and I may just be able to word things in a way that can skirt legal issues. The soundtrack on its own, though, is totally legal to sell on Amazon and subject to nothing more than how much longer I drag my arse to publish it — which, effectively, brings me back to Item 2, and how this computer that I’m still on is really on its last legs and is getting replaced. I can assure all three or four people who’ve been waiting earnestly for this that I will bust my arse to get this project finalised.
Unfortunately, I feel that I’ll have to finalise this project without the remixes I had moped for, simply because the people who said they would didn’t.
feedback for the demo cut of "music for Un Chien Andalou"
Saturday, August 2, 2008
It’s impossible for me to evaluate music like this, as I rarely hear anything like it. Parts of it remind me of old Subotnik. …. I have not seen the movie since I was in high school, about 1968. I’m sure this music would be entirely different while watching the movie.
— JK, Chicago
This is probably one of the best compliments I’ve received over this. The full album version is almost complete, and I’m working on syncing up the music with the film for DVD or at leat a CD-ROM film. On the album version, expect two remixes (one by Edé Arwine of {species}DROID™, one by John Stone of Mortal Pain), an album mix by co-composer Jason Crowe (16min 48sec), and the demo mix (15min 46sec).
Now Invading Facebook!

If you’re on Facebook, you may have noticed that celebrities and what-not can set up their own “fan pages”.
Well, the wait for a This Is Where the Fish Lives page is over!
This Is Where the Fish Lives on FaceBook.
…as usual, when left to my own devices, I am a lazy, lazy man; so suffice to say, there’s not a whole lot on there right now. but still, I urge all This Is Where the Fish Lives fans to go proclaim your not-hate of This Is Where the Fish Lives to all of FaceBook!
