This multimedia project is meant to combine the real world with the surreal world. The musical theme is space rock. While exploring space, we also stumble across some other things... like:

Science -- gravity, momentum and other such topics are considered. Socio/economics -- man's relation to his environment can have many interesting perspectives. The mind -- which comes first the imagination or the finished product? These and many other subliminal areas can be explored when you launch from this site.

MP3 Soundtrack Demos

For the most part, the music is an experimental project. In true space cadet form, the songs are written and recorded in an extemporaneous sort-of way.

The internet collaboration that went on for this production is quite interesting. Amongst those points of interest: this soundtrack is based on an award winning soundtrack that Sech produced for the 1999 Southwest Airlines Halloween Carving Contest. Half a continent away (and "a while" away in time) it was combined with a variety of other encounters. It is meant as the opening sequence for a longplay movie.

How fast is fast? And, how are you affected by gravity at high speeds? In an effort to perform a land/air test, we sent a digital roadcrew to the Gravity Games in Rhode Island, USA. Members of the Urban Assault In-Line Skating Team competed on behalf of themselves and KingArthur.com. (Long live the King!) We are honored to be represented by these world record holders and world class athletes.

Speaking of gravity... and E=MC^2, etc... why not put gravity to the test? Can you defy gravity? Did you know that you impose as much gravitational force on the Earth as is does on you?

Is it possible to travel through time? This music video is an example of a successful experiment in time travel. The original musical groove was composed in Montreal, Canada. The lead guitar was recorded by a Dallas, Texas native. Animation was rendered in Ft. Washington, PA. Technical and scientific help was made available to us through Ohio State University (Columbus, OH). Screaming and yelling was captured in Rhode Island. And, the piano and production took place in Blue Bell, PA. That is where all the pieces went from their own time... to a combined existence... living together at one time.

There is one other very important fact that I should point out -- none of these people ever played together before this instant!
