Always wanting to try writing and recording a full length album, one day I took the plunge. I grew up playing piano and guitar thanks to my dad, and drums, though not clean to a professional's ears, I took the risk to learn them. The main genre is experimental metal, fully inspired by artists such as Frank Zappa, Mr. Bungle, and King Crimson.
A Split in the Sun is a concept album based on my comic book world I've built in Wendy and the Sprite, Overflow and Dot the Robot.
Two sisters, deities of the moon hovering over an old grey planet, fight over the governing of said planet; resulting in their moon splitting in two. One sister "rules", while the other, perishes to the shadows below on the planet's surface.
There's more to it of course, as it relates to my comic books I produce under AllsCherry.

A short film I was hired to help coordinate, co-direct, film, and edit. I even wrote, recorded and produced the music myself.
The film is comedy about adults who had once been Anne-Geddes infant models, and are now coping with their trauma in an AG Baby Support Group.
The film has not been released to the public just yet, once it is, I will be uploading it here for you to enjoy (it is quite hilarious)
Podcast; Crow on a Perch (2023 and 2024)
With your hosts, Eric Olcsvary (sequential artist) and Liam Fletcher (Then-Philosophy Student), navigate life through the creative and thought-provoking lens, tackling topics of growing up, acceptance, learning to move on, and how to work your creative side.

Season 1: "Crow on a Perch, and the Existential Cowboy in the Ever-Growing Void that will Inevitably Cloak Us in Eternal Dread: Phase 1"
The show was a pre-recorded and edited Youtube and Spotify Podcast that ran around 40 minutes per episode. We worked with an almost fully improvised script, basing an episode on a specific theme in our young lives.
The last episode featured a guest host, "Megan Kirwin", Eric's best friend and tattoo artist from London, ON.

Season 2: "Crow on a Perch, and the sylvan motherboards in the ever-growing slow-cooker that will inevitably char the bar on Mars: Phase 2!"
With the excitement of our first season, and the success we had gained from a small little cult following, we decided to kick it up a notch for Season 2. We storyboarded, recorded, and edited a teaser trailer for this new season, and planned to be a live show on Twitch, with our first debut episode being quite special.
COAP Season 2, Teaser Trailer
After Debuting our Teaser Trailer, and gaining some attention to our new Twitch Channel, we prepped our special Debut Episode, where we pulled viewer suggestions of what to talk about or do from a pot. Some involved actual topics, others involved nerf guns.
The show was live and recorded in front of a small live audience of friends. During the entire episode, we had viewer vote who should get a pie in the face, Liam or Eric. I think you can see who lost.
Season 2 only lasted 2 episodes, when our hosts had some personal stuff come up, and has since been on hiatus. Whether we will do more of this show, we're unsure. Until then, enjoy what we've done!
