5 seconds of FUN

[imomus]

What do people do when you ask them to make a sound for five seconds... but don't let them use speech or music? Find out by watching a short Quicktime movie (8.9MB) I shot today at the Future University (FUN).

The Japanese word for sound is oto, and 'Otto Spooky' can also mean 'a spooky sound'. I'm happy to report that the 'Otto Spooky' lyrics page is now up, for those disorienteers who lost their compasses and want to see the map.

Dear Momus,

totally of the topic, pardon me, but have you ever thought about abandoning your artist name Momus and starting a career as Mr. Nick Currie, like John Lennon quit being a Beatle after the disbandment?

Well, I do some things as Nick Currie, in a sort of parallel career -- writing for AIGA Voice (http://journal.aiga.org/content.cfm?ContentAlias=_getfullarticle&aid=927990), for instance. But I've never thought Nick Currie was a particularly good name. It sounds light, sharp, spicy, a bit silly. 'Momus' has a darker sound, with a mysterious, rather comical menace and otherness to it.
