V/A - My Plastic Heart

A compilation about falling in love with robots or vice versa. Compiled by disassembler. Featuring (so far) Christopher Jion, elektrobot, Elisha Gray, Joystick, Maxfarnea, mononoke, Nordloef, Starmelt, and possibly... an appearance by Vector Lovers (I have to talk to Martin about this a bit more, so it's not definite yet, but I'm positive he'll agree to it)! Artwork by Beta. I've been working on this since August of last year, and it's almost done!

The compilation was inspired by Robot Carnival (specifically Presence), and the idea that robots make better lovers than humans!

I'm putting together a compilation.

A bit about it...

It's called My Plastic Heart

The theme is, "a soundtrack for an unwritten sci-fi/romance film".

I got the idea one night while watching Robot Carnival.

Haven't seen it/heard of it? Look it up on youtube, there's clips there.

It's basically a Japanese Fantasia. But that's an understatement, it's way better than Fantasia! 1. Because a number of awesome/famous Japanese animators contributed. 2. The score is original.

So far, I have two definite contributions.

Presence by Christopher Jion (the track's based on the segment from Robot Carnival)

and a track from Maxfarnea (the track was on his Myspace but he took it off)

Nordloef and Starmelt said they'd give it a go.

Other artists I plan on asking to contribute...

Vector Lovers

Henry Homesweet will be submitting a track as well

You can start submitting tracks now, but there's no deadline yet since I won't have the funds to press CDs for a little while. In return for submitting a track, I will send each artist some copies of the compilation.

I'm planning on having 2000 CDs with artwork and inserts pressed.

Some artwork will be done by my friend Sam. Other artists are encouraged to contribute as well.

More as it develops.
