So, as many of you might have noticed - murmuré is not getting updated nearly as much as it used to and there is a reason for that. Over the past year I have been working on a new project called In the Open, which has been reblogged over here many times.

If you still want to hear music daily, and be able to listen to as much of it as you want along with some free downloads, then head on over to http://intheopen.tumblr.com and start following. Thanks for sticking with us, and we hope to see you over at the In the Open Tumblr.

In the Open presents Milo Greene - 1957

I shot Milo Greene in LA, the day before coming back up to San Francisco. We had met about a month earlier to discuss what we wanted to do for a video, and decided that we wanted to do something in a cave. Normally for all these shoots I find the locations, but in this case they found the cave. The cave had perfect reverb allowing for their voices to carry without becoming too overwhelming. We ended up spending the entire day moving from the caves to jamba juice for a snack followed by a drive on the PCH to a friend’s orchard/vineyard in Malibu. They are currently on tour and will be releasing their first full length sometime this upcoming spring. Enjoy.

Beach House - Zebra

It’s weird to think this track came out less than two years ago. Beach House’s album, Teen Dream, is phenomenal all the way through. It’s perfect for those overcast days where you just want to stay in bed. Hopefully there will be a new Beach House album on the way.

Make sure to follow In the Open!

In the Open presents James Vincent McMorrow - Wicked Game (Chris Isaak Cover)

So since this is the behind the scenes portion of In the Open, I figure I can fill you in on some of the details of the shoot. We were set to shoot on the highest hill in San Francisco, so I arrived early since it was a bit confusing to get to the top and a bit of a hike. A lot of these shoots involve more walking than some might be used to, but I make sure it’s always worth it. It turned out that James and his crew were on the other side of the hill, which meant there was a full forest in-between us. I made my way across the hillside in hopes of finding them since we were at that point running late. The day was thankfully beautiful and clear making it easier to follow the paths. Eventually as I was reaching the top of the hill, I could see them making their way up. We all met up and after taking a chance to catch our breaths we took a moment to look at the view. We had the entire San Francisco skyline in front of us with nothing obstructing our view. We then proceeded to talk and decide what we wanted to do. We filmed a total of three songs, and this was the last one. When he started playing “Wicked Game” I knew I was in for a treat. The performance was beautiful, and haunting at the same time. I got the chills towards the end where James held a single note for nearly 20 seconds. So now, here it is for you to enjoy.

Head over to In the Open to read the full post.

In the Open presents Young the Giant - I Got

To help push off two sites with one stone here is a new video for you all. As some of you might know, the Young the Giant guys and I are close friends, I’d even consider them brothers. I went on tour with them for a few months last year and during that time I started up In the Open while we were driving between Utah and San Francisco. In the Open started as soon as I started shooting “I Got”. We shot almost all their songs over the past year in-between the other In the Open shoots. Here is Your Side, and make sure to go check out the site we worked on with the guys so you can see all their sessions in one place, as well as get more info about each shoot from Sameer and I.
