Hello Friends of Square Productions,

Speaking in Code at Beatportal

First off, our project is generating more interest out in the world. This time in the form of Beatportal, the editorial wing of Beatport, the definitive site for dance music downloads.

The site interviewed Director Amy Grill about the project. You can view the interview (and trailer) here:

http://www.beatportal.com/news/item/speaking-in-code-exclusive-trailer/

Give it a read and, if you're up for it, leave the story a comment.

This is a significant development for a number of reasons. For one, Beatport is an international shop reaching all over the electronic music world. Even more than the recent XLR8R interview, a shout from Beatport again affirms our belief that Speaking in Code has an audience that attracts a global audience.

With this in mind, and upon further brainstorming, sQuare productions is aiming to show the film at the Toronto Film Festival, a gathering with a more international reach than any other festival in North America.

Working towards that goal also allows us more time to test different versions of the film to different audiences and tailor it to a particular crowd, one that loves good narrative documentary, well-framed and photographed images and great characters.

To assist in the making of Speaking in Code, we would encourage you to rech out to our producer, Alexandra Lee at alex@squar3.com.

On that front, very big news to come from sQuare productions. We can't fill you in on the details just yet, but stay tuned.

Wighnomy DJ Set

Two of our characters in Speaking in Code are the amazing and delightful Wighnomy Brothers. Their music is amazing, and their DJ sets are something of a legend. Someone was smart enough to record their recent DJ set at Mutek.

Speaking in Code co-producer, character and author Philip Sherburne said this about the set:

"The Wighnomy Brothers closed out the festival, and I can say unconditionally that the boys from Jena are officially my favorite DJs in the world. No one in techno plays with the variety, the agreeable unpredictability nor the good humor that they do. I have no idea what 90% of their set was but trainspotting was hardly the point. They kicked off with a gospel-style a cappella preaching the spiritual uplift of house music, and returned several times to the conceit, punctuating their rambunctious rambling with the Sunday school voiceovers. It could have felt tongue-in-cheek, but instead, with the sun out and two or three thousand people dancing and lounging, including many families with children, it felt appropriate: our generation's version of, well, Sunday school."

See the link below to download this set, recorded from the soundboard by an eager fan.

Simply type in the three digit code on the right of the screen to download. This is a four-hour set, so it might take some time to get the whole thing, but it's a lot of fun.
