New WAIFU artwork
There’s things brewing here in regards to RADUTRON performing live.
We just completed a photoshoot for the live band, as well as practicing the live set with some choice cover songs for a couple of months now. After thinking about the presentation of the band, I’ve decided to update the artwork for WAIFU, because honestly, it deserves better. So here it is…
If you wish to update your offline version of WAIFU, I encourage you to grab this image.
You can listen to WAIFU on bandcamp, and soundcloud.
I’ll be posting our band photos in the next week or two, and a show announcement sometime after that.

New Track – Something for the…uh… imagination?
I cannot confirm nor deny the potentially revealing theme of this track. Ah hell, who am I kidding!?
Dear Sex T-Rex,
I recently saw “Wasteland: A Post-Apocalyptic Romp” at Toronto’s Fringe Festival.
Other than “The Book Of Mormon” I haven’t seen a play probably since I was in elementary school. As a teenager I probably wouldn’t have cared to see it.
I fucking loved this play.
Coming in I was expecting more of a set, but it didn’t take me long to get used to seeing the actors use themselves and the same objects, and have my imagination amp it up! The music was a great touch, as I’m a fan of the modern Fallout games, and Guardians Of The Galaxy, where the upbeat music has stark contrast to the grim reality.
I laughed, I cried (tears of joy, especially when you get to “Under Pressure”), and I was overjoyed that I can love my favourite sci-fi genre in a different medium from movies, books, and video games. I just wish I could buy a recording of this!
Your play taught me that we’re all a little crazy in our own way, and our imaginations can make even the darkest realities more fun to play in.
Bravo!
-George
P.S.
Fav parts:
-Changing perspectives of the vehicle battle scene
-Kaitlin Morrow’s puppetry of the dog was adorable
-The great revelation of Conor Bradbury’s character
-The music!!!
My Christmas Tree
I didn’t want to buy a tree, but a friend of mine showed me that people have been making trees out of books.
I did my own take on that: comic books, DVDs, video games, with mostly Funko Pop figures as decorations.
Witch Doctor Summons Diablo!
My favourite artist in the whole wide internet, Charlotte Soileh, just posted a time lapse of a DIABLO III fan art piece she did. This is also her debut as a director on Machinima. So happy for her. Check it out. I did the music for it!!! Which you can download on my SoundCloud here.
You can view the piece here.
Expect more!
Boom.

RADUTRON EP PRESS RELEASE
Best known as the guitarist for Toronto-based electro-rockers The Rabid Whole, George V. Radutu is pleased to unveil his new fan audio project RADUTRON. Its first release is titled …Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying, And Do Covers and features 8 cover songs inspired by both artist and video game composers from the last 60+ years. This EP will be available in early 2012 as a free download.
The inspiration for the project came from Radutu’s love of video game soundtracks. “I wanted to create my own versions of these popular, and underground tunes that have been soundtracks to my escapism over these many years. I’m certain that my fellow gamers, and music lovers will enjoy these.”
The cover art for …Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying, And Do Covers was created by Charlotte Solieh. Radutu found her work online and knew she would be perfect for the vibe he sought to create. “I stumbled-upon Charlotte’s work online and was blown away by it. Its a plus that she is also a gamer. She knows how to re-create a scene using those oh-so-fine brush strokes.”
The digital-only package will include a PDF booklet documenting the passion behind the production.
True to the spirit of game production, tracks on the EP were beta-tested.
…Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Do Covers will be available for PC/Mac, PS3, XBOX 360, iOS, and any other device that plays mp3s.
The [ABSOLUTELY FREE] EP is slated for an early 2012 release.
