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.
Young the Giant
This shot is from the very first In the Open session that I ever did with Young the Giant out in the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Make sure to follow In the Open on tumblr if you aren’t already.
In the Open presents Young the Giant performing Every Little Thing
As we near the end of the videos with Young the Giant, I have to look back at this past year and be thankful for how much they have helped with the growth of In the Open. In the Open started in the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah while on tour with Young the Giant. We were driving along the highway and I asked if we could stop to take photos. We got out and played some soccer and decided that we should film something here. I had done some minor filming work with them before, but I had no real knowledge about diving into live performances especially in terms of recording audio. I remember finishing the video and being excited to look at the footage, and that feeling is still there every time I shoot another band. As I have mentioned before, the guys are like brothers to me and I am extremely thankful for them, for putting up with my requests to shoot in places even when we were all tired and just wanted to do nothing.
Thank you Payam, Sameer, Jake, François, and Eric for all your time and work for In the Open. I consider In the Open just as much yours as it is mine, because without you guys there would be no In the Open.
Wanna Help?
In the Open has been nominated for a MTV O Music Award in the “Beyond the Blog” Category. I could use your help by getting more votes since I am up against some big competition. Everyone can vote 25 times a day using facebook or twitter, or 50 if you’re sneaky. It would be great if you could share the link too, so we can collectively get In the Open to the top. There will be something for you all as well if In the Open wins as a thank you for everyone’s help.

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.
In the Open finally has a tumblr, where you can see all the behind the scenes of what goes on at these shoots. Head on over and start following for new music, videos, photos, stories, and more.
I’ve finally started posting videos to youtube after several people complained about the load times of vimeo. While I will still be premiering most the In the Open videos on vimeo, there will be some behind the scenes videos and b-roll material on the youtube along with all the sessions themselves. So, go ahead and subscribe if you’d like:
