sworcery a/v jam

///////////////////////////// CREATE IN THE KEY OF SWORCERY: MAY 11 - MAY 13

Heeyyyyyy so do you have an idea for a painting (or sculpture, costume, soundscape, animation or DIY videogame) 'in the key of #sworcery'? Would you like to mess around with a remix of one of Jim Guthrie's #sworcery songs?

If so then AWESOME. We're here to provide some structure and some motivation, as well as an opportunity to exhibit your work to an appreciative audience.

  • BRIEF: create artwork, sounds & whatever else in the key of #sworcery
  • EVENT: jam alongside Superbrothers, Capy & Jim Guthrie on Friday, May 11th - 13th
  • DEADLINE: submit before the end of Sunday, May 13th 2012 & we'll make some noise

Take a look at the sparkling new sworcery.tumblr.com to see some of what has already been created.

Go to swordandsworcery.com/jam for more details + keep an eye & an ear open, because from now until the jam begins next Friday, May 11th we'll be posting some A/V materials to get you psyched....materials like these:

"Wanna jam? OK, LET'S ROCK"

get up-to-date on iPad three

 

//////////////////////////////// DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK

A free update for the original touchtronic edition of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is now available on the App Store, it is intended for those of you with the new iPad.

This update will fancy up them hard-edged pixel sprites real nice, offering initiated participants a new way to see just what in the heck #sworcery is all about.

If you'd like to download the new Dark Moon Rock Show wallpaper shown above (to use as a wallpaper on your new iPad for example) then feel free to click here.

Also:

  • For those of you with only an iPhone or an iPod Touch, know this: the iPhone 4 (and above) is the optimal method for participating in this experiment.
  • For those of you with a PC: of course you've already heard about the new edition for electric computers, available now via Steam, so you'll be fine.
  • For those of you with a Mac: we will be cosmic friends forever, before the summer solstice.

Heeyyy.....

Are you (and/or are your kids) creatively inclined? Would you be interested in creating some paintings, photographs, sculpture, music, videogames or whatever-you-like... in the key of #sworcery?

If so then join us in two weeks time as we celebrate the confluence of two jam events (the majestic Toronto Videogame Jam and the upcoming Comics Vs Games Jam) with a third creative jam in our own particular fashion: a #sworcery-themed audiovisual jam, open to one and all via the power of the internet.

Note: There will be no prizes or rewards, unless 'being posted to the official sworcery tumblr with credit + link to your site, plus whatever relevant info' is considered a reward, in which case yes, we'll definitely be doing that. We'll repost the raddest to facebook.com/sworcery, here at swordandsworcery.com and via the Twitters.

Won't you join us? We'll have more details about all this very soon - watch this space for updates.

Also: Feel free to get going on some projects now if you have the time/interest (ie: waiting until the official start is not strictly required), if you've been meaning to make something happen then do whatcha want!
