Kickin' it O.A.P. Style, baby!!

Alternative Blueprint is pleased to be doing the soundtrack for a multimedia project conceived & orchestrated by breakdance instructor & general B-boy Tom Willoughby, & filmmaker Russell Scully.

It's going to be a multi-faceted take on hip-hop culture & bridging the generation gap. There will be an avant-garde art film, a mockumentary on the scene & a music video for the forthcoming Automated Acoustics album.

Tom teaches breakdancing at festival workshops, structured group classes & private lessons around the UK, & he has studied the art of body movement since he could stand up. He has been teaching this group of very keen senior citizens street dance as a project.

Russell is a Skate Video producer, & with this project is moving into music video production & experimental film making.

Both Tom & Russell can be contacted via Alternative Blueprint Records. www.alternativeblueprint.com

Automated Acoustics (Loz Gill) did some location sound recording of the "posse", & will be doing the sound design for the project.

(the video below was taken with my phone, not the nice camera Russell was using ;)

It was an awesome, fun day, the group really got into it - we totally terrorised the locals until they got up close ;)
There will be some interesting results from the project for sure!! Massive thanks to all the breakers - legends!

We will keep you posted.... stay tuned....
