Year End Wrap-Up

First of all- Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Festive Kwanza and Happy Festivus to you all! I have started so many posts this year with an apology for my late posting- so I think you all know by now that I am the busiest producer working and I post when I can.

We wrapped up the first season of Blue Sky Void’s “Exploring the Void” a few weeks ago and we will likely return with a new season of “something” sometime in the coming year. One thing I have had to admit this year is that I am over-tasked. Far too many of my business obligations have gone unattended due to my production schedule, so something has to give and it will likely be on the BSV front.

BSV has had a great run this year!

  • We just released (on Tue) our 62’nd video
  • We wrapped the: “Live from the Void” series with 30 episodes
  • We released two editions of: “Videos from the Void”; a third is in the works, which I would like to introduce before the end of the year, but that is still TBD
  • We introduced the: “Exploring the Void” series which ran as 10 episodes for the first season and integrated Anastasia and, occasionally Carol, into the show
  • We hosted our first guest artist, Bruce Brophy, this year
  • Our studio has undergone multiple revisions in order to bring you the best possible content
  • I adopted two homeless basses

So it’s been almost entirely a Blue Sky Void year of production in the SG camp – we’ll see what 2025 brings; I do have a queue of other acts that need my attention. So stay tuned in 2025 for more audio/video works. As you know- I have not been able to keep up with posting our latest releases- so here is a reference of where you can find them:

Ok- see you in 2025- Happy New Year everyone!!! sg

ETV, Episode 5

Tonight’s the night. Join us during the premiere hour (8:00 PM PST) as BSV will be in the chat room dodging fruit and retorting the non-believers. Cheers! sg

I got my foot caught in The Void once.

Supernatural Market

This week’s video release from Blue Sky Void was another in my series of videos using A.I. B-Roll. It contemplates the idea that some of the gods- like Buddha, Shiva, Baphomet, Isis, Santa Muerte and Jesus, all shop at the same market. What do you think? …Remember- anything’s possible in The Void. Enjoy! sg

You can still lose your grocery list in The Void!

ETV, Ep-4

And here is last week’s release of: “Exploring the Void” These shows just keep getting better so I highly recommend checking this one out. Enjoy! sg

The Void can be a very fashionable place.

Junk Mail

Still fighting to stay on schedule with these posts- sorry for the delays while I have been working, feverishly, on getting the next ETV episode edited for release THIS FRIDAY! This post, however, is dedicated to this week’s BSV video release: “Junk Mail”. Enjoy! sg

Even The Void cannot escape junk mail.

ETV, Ep-2

And so it begins- I have, yet again, been too busy to make updates here (sorry!!!) so I will now engage in a barrage of posts in order to catch-up and highlight BSV’s latest videos. In this post we have: “Exploring the Void, Episode 2” …the second in BSV’s new bi-weekly series, intended to replace the former “Live from the Void” series. These shows are better looking and better sounding; I hope you find this one interesting. Cheers! sg

Explore to your heart’s content

Graveyard of Cars

This week’s BSV video release is from a few months back- “Graveyard of Cars”. I had some reservations about putting this one out into the public but my judgement finally succumbed to the thought of having an un-released video sitting around. Enjoy! sg

You can drive “to” The Void, but you’ll need one of these cars to drive “in” The Void.

Exploring the Void (ETV), Ep-1

Here is our first episode of Blue Sky Void’s “Exploring the Void”. We have replaced our weekly live performance with this bi-weekly production. It is still performed and recorded live- but this format lets us balance the sound mix and cut the fat to present a show that has more continuity. Enjoy! sg

A Void within a Void!

Zombies On the Bayou

Released today- BSV presents “Zombies On the Bayou” for your consideration. From a video perspective- this could be considered a sequel to our recent “VooDoo Delta” video. This one is a bit of a challenge to listen to- the drums are very chaotic- but ultimately they depict the chaos that would be manifested in the arrival of a zombie hoard in Anytown USA, so mission accomplished. Enjoy!

Yes- even zombies are welcome in The Void!

Bridge of Glass

Ok- this should be the last in my catch-up stint of posting our latest video releases that, until today, have gone unposted here in the SG blog. This latest video: “Bridge of Glass” was released last week and, like Fat City, also made it’s premiere in the “Videos from the Void, Episode 3” show. Enjoy!

All bridges to The Void are made of glass.

Fat City

Still playing catch-up, posting these recent video releases. “Fat City” was released on 7/23/24 but it actually made it’s debut in: “Videos from the Void, Episode 3” …our, then, bi-monthly (now quarterly) best-of video series. Enjoy!

Never underestimate the weight of The Void!

Remember the Pollinators

OK- sorry for the delay- we have been intensely busy producing our new BSV show “Exploring the Void” which premieres this Friday! With all of this effort I have managed to neglect posting our latest single-song videos here- so this will be the start of a few catch-up posts. For your entertainment- I present “Remember the Pollinators”; released on 7/16/24. Enjoy!

There’s quite a buzz in The Void!

VFTV, Episode 3

Good day friends! Blue Sky Void’s “Videos from the Void”, Episode-3 will be premiering tonight at 8:00PM Pacific on YouTube and Rumble. VFTV is a bi-monthly show of our best videos and performances from the previous two months of “Live from the Void” shows.  Members of BSV will be in the chat room during the premiere to answer questions and dodge your poorly thrown fruit & beer bottles.  Salute! 

VFTV, Episode 3

Skeletown

This week’s post is a bit late- “Skeletown” is the latest video from Blue Sky Void and it explores the possibility of a city populated by walking, talking skeletons. Enjoy! sg

You’re never too skinny for the Void!

LFTV Redux

There will be no LFTV Redux this week. We are currently in the midst of re-formatting our show and schedule and I will have some major changes to announce about the show in the coming days. In the mean time- I will leave you with this shot of the board I have been using for LFTV lately. Cheers! sg

Mystic Night Out

This week’s video production is out now- this time an instrumental, since we’ve had several LFTV’s lately without Geoff. The visuals in this one really resonate with me- I hope you will enjoy this as much as I do. Cheers! sg

There’s a Void in the Mist!

LFTV, Ep-23, Redux

This week’s “Redux” is Episode 23, which is the session when our drummer, Rael, was on vacation. Eric, our percussionist, stepped up and supplied his manually-manipulated beats, which made for an interesting twist on the usual BSV rhythm section; I actually received a lot of positive feedback on this sound/performance. The audio in this edition is the same audio from the original broadcast, so it’s not the best mix, but you can hear most of what’s going on. Enjoy! sg

There is a little Void in all of us!

LFTV, Ep-20, Redux

Here is a “Redux” edition of Blue Sky Void’s LFTV, Episode 20. The Redux edition is not quite cleaned-up to the spec of a Director’s Cut version- due to production time; but it is still a marked improvement over the actual live cut. This was a particularly fun show and was completely instrumental. Enjoy! sg

Choosy mothers choose The Void!

VooDoo Delta

This week’s video from Blue Sky Void explores the underground culture of Haitian VooDoo in the deep south. Some of this footage is quite beautiful in a Disney sort of way. Enjoy! sg

Interesting Fact: There is VooDoo in the Void.

BSV LFTV, Ep-21, Director’s Cut

Here’s a DC video that is a few weeks late. I’m several episodes behind schedule as we have had some technical issues that have made these edits more laborious than usual. Anyway here is Episode 21. Episode 20 will eventually be published in one form or another, as well as all episodes to-date. If you are one of our regular watchers- thanks for your patience and support. Enjoy! sg

Never misjudge the Void!

VFTV, Episode 2

Hi folks. I did not have time to produce a Director’s Cut of last week’s LFTV show, however I did produce our second episode of “Videos from the Void”. This is a bi-monthly show that takes the best performances and produced videos from the prior two months and packages them into an hour(ish) long show. If you are going to watch just a little Blue Sky Void- these shows are the ones to watch. Enjoy!

Coming to a Void near you.

Inaugural BSV Show

Well last night was the first “advertised” online stream by Blue Sky Void. Things will improve as we get a few more of these performances under out collective belt. This show could have used louder vocals and more compressed bass, but overall you can hear what’s going on. Here is the board I was using for last night’s bass sounds…

SG Pedalboard, 10/25/23

It was the first run for both the Origin BassRig preamp as well as the Walrus Audio Fable. If you missed the live stream- you can conjure the power of the Internet and check it out here:

Cheers! sg
