The Next Stop

Light on your face, a smile from a taste, it only takes one to make a day.

Every now and then, some say all it takes is a smile to brighten your day.

 

When your low, feeling sold – those who deem themselves above you, hold true so why don’t you. Never be the one hating, it’s a taste of a testament, but attained you choose. Can we work, can we starve, we bare scars, all we see in a day to day darkness, those the ones who in the mist cast glances. Choices, we all have voices to tell stories, to explore the stars. Star dust they say, light years to talk about but still we waste our days, selling – the only way. Shredding, tearing to tethers our finely sculpted body of feathers. The kingdom of the soul, too bold? Hark, we ask instead of listening to the voices.

Rows of cars all parked in front of houses, doors doused in a rigid paralysis.

Shake, shudder, sights such as these. Men and boys, all born free, choose to retain or succumb to the restraints of a 21st century planet, ruled by time. Am I late?

Over the past few weeks Endless Media has been commissioned to cover the UK based Aids/HIV conference in London. We’ve been working closely again with the Essex based design company Sweet on numerous projects, including a promotional video for the band Six Hour Sundown – lead by the daughter of guitar legend Mr Steve Harris from Iron Maiden. Lauren Harris and her band fuse a mesh of traditional rock n roll with a blend of 21st Century metal to produce something all together spell-binding. We have also been commissioned to produce a full-length music video upon their return from the United States.

Photo-shoots have recently been completed for Artists such as Charlie Turner, Theo Howarth, Fransisco and body-builder Scott Walker.

The day breaks, when the new moon steps back from it’s nightly overturn of emotion. The quaking run of day, forward motion at the start line to something like an explosion. The colours faded, the grey, headlights guide the line behind but now we’re out, the rhythm cures the blind. Side wind and spiral.

Scrabble Boards Give Me Nothing New

With regular trips to and from the city centre now, awareness as well as reputation is growing for this real-time based raucous. Troops joining the ranks left, right and centre. Endless Media is beginning to branch out with more people under it’s wings, it’s only just the start as we master craft this buoyant raft.

Plaster the walls of this virtual platform with it’s soon to be re-designed and re-envigorated approach to broadcasting, promotion as well as the presentation of the people that we value so highly. The ultimate aim for Endless Media this year is to establish ourselves as a multi-media platform that’s easy to approach and can supply you with the means necessary to make your art and business more accessible to wider audiences as well as specific target audiences.

Since the launch of www.endlessmedia.co.uk and the recently published article by Bishop’s Stortford based journalist James Burton.

Down and out -

Spinning around without the room to move, an endless circle that swallows you whole. 

Engulfed, endorsed and under-developed at present.

All these things i’ve done and seen, the places, the streets, the situations i’ve dreamed couldn’t have prepared me – tonight. One room with a voice that wobbles and bounces, that anxiety tarnishes and confidence cloaks. At least i’m here though, at least I feel fear, at least I live, I want and breathe. I feel the creases, suffer diseases and suspect the sleaze. With greater ease I make progress, picking myself up from hands and knees.

It’s strange swapping sides, experiencing the chair, the various eyes and the pressure. The other side of the fence, i grew up and broke through the chain-link – soul studded and drenched.

Recently i’ve begun a partnership with WeAreSweet – This is a small integrated agency offering the full works. They specialise in building your brand and creating high quality, content managed websites – it doesn’t end there! We also offer professional graphic design, video & animation and content writing services.

BIG UP BIG UP

Unknown

” I weep and feel sorry for where you tread those feet, shattered souls savage the once serene environment men like you, now poison. Meek and tortured societies grace the now rancid air in which our existence depends on. Give up your spirit and we are but cattle to the slaughter, a mass grave awaits within a future generations forgotten past. We look back and dismantle, then dis-regard. In the deepest, darkest parts of our existence will we seek refuge, will we flee the judged unjust havoc, destined to terrorise “

So far 2012 has been eye-opening, with the release and upcoming releases of 4 new Endless Media Productions, full length music videos with bands such as Roses In Rome, Kurran and The Wolfnotes, Project Alfie and Benedict. This year I hope to establish Endless Media as a ltd. company and aim to further the scope, breadth as well as public awareness of the work that is being produced here. Yesterday I had an interview with James Burton from the Herts & Essex Observer who is going to be running a feature on the progress ‘Endless’ has made over the past year.

Check out the latest video for Project Alfie where I worked alongside Director Paul Gardner, Manager from Twenty First Artists – Alex Katter, to provide footage for this 60′s style retro masterpiece. Director of Photography, me – Tom Lee.

Over the next few weeks you are due to see photo shoots with upcoming Dj’s Kolo & Dyze who now have a regular slot at Ministry Of Sound, London and who are also due to be setting up a night at Cargo club Shoreditch. More acoustic sessions from Roses In Rome front man Benjamin Michael Lee. I am currently storyboarding with Alice Walker the female front of Aliceband hoping to release a video this spring. Work is ongoing with South-East based brit-hop group DCM as well as solo material from 24 vision.

Check out the latest photoshoot of Alice Walker, with a few from our little helper Erin.

No more faking, life is about the making, breaking of boys and bonds. Chain reactions erupt when the words run through shimmering eyes, out through a mouth, I would try and shout, but driven mad by your red lip pout, i live in a drought. Sometimes I laugh out loud at the things I hear, sometimes i’ve hurt, cried a crumbled mess in fear, taunts flaunted with painful jeers. Over these past 19 years it’s not been hard, life is hard, did i already tread a path and strain the longest yard, i hope not.

Check out one of the latest covers by Stortford based artist Charlie Turner, another Bedhead Session with Endless Media.

Over the start of January we’ve also been lucky enough to catch up with Chloe Tingey on a break from her time whilst studying at University in the states, we caught up and recorded a couple of acoustic performances to see how she’s developed.

The Extreme, The Untamed, The Untouchables.

Patience

Hard times lay ahead, for our dreary eyed man, this man the tin man, the focus of this story – wearily rolls out of bed. Rain pours down the window frame as smoke fills the garden shed. Same hit on a different day, the evergreen terrace only lays a peaceful minutes stroll away, blocked by an ocean of thought, his journey lays tattered and torn. Cloaked in brick, sheltered with mortar, wrapped in plastic, unleashed on paper, thoughts slowly dribble out with a process as painful as water torture.  A future that’s stained, he sees our histories in the sheets, a relationship deprived yet survived through centuries of destruction. Black clouds roll by above, thunder stirs and lightning strikes, this solid mesh of skin and flesh. Thoughts of his – bare truth at the nightmares end, but as morning breaks his soul undertakes, once again, the same mission as the night scape before.

I swim in darkness.

Do I swim alone?

Are those who, believe? Simply but mutts. Dogs to a bone, way up high on a golden fake thrown, it sits. Sitting, waiting, wishing, the time will come, self-deceit, oblivious brains blown into oblivion by the concept we are alone. You are alone. I am no dog to a bone, I am only skin and bone, flesh to eat, nothing but meat, meat to a mouth, you eat me up and shit me out. This is life, with like comes the inevitability of death, with inevitability comes denial, it’s time to break free, crack a smile, and finish running my own mile.

God spelt backwards is Dog.

Watching paint dry…is boring usually, at the start of this new year, perhaps and final year, i’ve decided to rid myself of society’s full-time constraints and venture into the unknown for something that might just set my soul on fire.

Acoustics, Photo Shoots, Music videos the lot. Get in contact with tom_lee.92@hotmail.co.uk

Mirrors Image

I was found, fascinated by empty corridors, falling through space, no sense, bewildered by time and place. Found I was, you picked me up and mended my fragile cracked face. Oh for loneliness had surrounded me, lost in eternity, riddled with self-doubt and scared of disgrace. The ghost of an angel stands, close stead, hard earned trust no more crumbling future for the crumbling rock face.

Suspicious in a way that makes me inconceivably conspicuous.

Cold  hearted child beneath me, heavens eyes up-high deceive me.

Ideas in their thousands besiege me and not by any fault of my own, i burn all those around me, singe and scrape, dip and douse, petrol to the flames beside me. ‘Break a mirror, Roll the dice,’ it’s one life and still you’re spending that time looking for a wife.

Left Behind

 One of my latest video productions for a local artist, plenty more on the way…

Check him out, Benedict.

In the midst of a quite pace yet lost in space that the silence makes, sat reassured by the laughing his larynx shapes – this silent figure hangs with an open gaze. Jungle funk fresh session, it’s life on beat and in forward motion. Shadow realms await with deadly diamond laced oceans, minds eye in control of a fragile mined mess.

Keep your eyes peeled on the youtube channel for more of his covers and plenty more EMP’s (Endless Media Productions)

Welcome to our winter wonderland.
