Armistead Burwell Smith IV
Armistead Burwell Smith IV (also known as Zach Smith) is an American composer and musician. He has recorded with multiple bands, including most notably Pinback, as well on his own, under the name Systems Officer. Career Early playing Smith began playing bass in 1984 at the age of 14 after he and his high school (Torrey Pines High School, Del Mar, California) friends were looking to form a reggae band, which they named White Lion (seemingly unaware of the heavy metal band of the same name). Smith attributes his sound to "being bored" playing single-note basslines. Smith developed his sound by experimenting with different harmonies on the bass, a style that would later become his signature. Smith was largely self-taught and tried to do "different things with the bass" Three Mile Pilot Born in San Diego, California, his father Ted Smith was an architect and his mother Tambie Antell was a stained glass artist. His stepfather was instrument inventor and saxophonist Jim French ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dark Star (film)
''Dark Star'' is a 1974 American science fiction comedy film directed and produced by John Carpenter and co-written with Dan O'Bannon. It follows the crew of the deteriorating starship ''Dark Star'', twenty years into their mission to destroy unstable planets that might threaten future colonization of other planets. Beginning as a University of Southern California student film produced from 1970 to 1972, it was gradually expanded to feature-length until it appeared at Filmex in 1974, and subsequently received a limited theatrical release in 1975. Its final budget is estimated at $60,000. While initially unsuccessful with audiences, it was relatively well-received by critics, and continued to be shown in theaters as late as 1980. The home video revolution of the early 1980s helped the movie achieve "cult classic" status; O'Bannon collaborated with home video distributor VCI in the production of releases on VHS, LaserDisc, DVD, and eventually Blu-ray. ''Dark Star'' was Carpente ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
