Just wanted to draw your attention to the following. Tom Haines, who I mentioned in a previous post is trying to raise money for his latest short film. Take a look at the link below, and if you can, give 'im some money. Also, check out his website of his previous work:
Here is a short film for which I did the music. Hope you enjoy...

I thought I'd just post up an old song (from about 2000) which I still like. I thought I'd just put something up for once that wasn't absolutely f***ing mental! Just a demo really, but I think it still sounds OK. This was featured in 'Lost at Sea', a film directed by Tom Haines (http://www.tom-haines.com/) who I had the honour of working with whilst he made this really lovely film (although pretty awkward for me personally to watch) which is kinda about...well... me.
Anyway, enjoy the track and have a look at Tom's excellent video and film work on his site. I feel honoured to call him my friend.
Is this too sucky? Am I a twat? I think I probably am. Arghhhh. Anyway, here's the track:
Put this date in your diary peeps. The Paper Cinema (with live music from me and Quinta - www.myspace.com/iquinta) are playing at Manifesto (The Nave, 1 St Paul's Road, N1) on the 17th July. If you're in London, do come along as it really should be a cool event.
Here is a film made by Paul Ralph (award-winning director of 'Aardvark', and all-round super chappie). He asked me for a sort of stream-of-consciousness thing about space, and then he's gone ahead and made a lovely short film. Here is the blurb from the Vimeo page:
"A stream of consciousness experiment using words and music by Ed Dowie and basically putting visuals to them. Visuals have been manipulated and (badly) animated in Photoshop and After Effects. The idea was to do this as quickly as possible and not go back and tweak or alter anything, much like Ed's stream of consciousness ramblings about outer space."
The music is demo I made recently. The finished piece will most likely end up on my (as-yet-unnamed) EP/DVD, which should be released at the end of the year, so wash my face.
