*Above is a list of all the excerpts I watched out of the Angel de Quinta's STAGE DOOR Blog*




From the seven I chose to focus primarily on the first  two excerpts. These in particular caught my attention and eye for many reasons. More specifically there was an excerpt that happened to be "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory." Already a fan of there work and there movie qualities more recently, this opera was quite pleasing to me. Aside the point, the colors stood out, the scenes were brief but well engaged, the singers sounded very in tune, and overall it was pretty good quality. I enjoyed the joyous natures of the actors and singers. The music was very upbeat and exciting. There were numerous styles of opera were displayed and that was interesting because they altered during each scene switch. My favorite by far.



Additionally, i watched one  titled: "1982 Bea Arthur- Fifty Percent". She was a very; what look to be older woman. She sang with emotion in a more personal baritone. Her voice was raspy as she sang, but it added the element of creativity through sound. From what I listened to it almost sound as if she were singing about a man and speaking in regards to a personal incident. The piano was very well infused as it too, added depth and entirety to the song.


These two excerpts particularly stood out to me. Despite all of the excerpts being very creative and unique, I loved the music of the older days. The emotion that goes into the vocals of the singers is more much more genuine vs that of today's societies. The art of music, the art of dance, the art of singing, the art of choreography, and more are all pivotal aspects of the overall Opera's success, which I think is and was important when creating things like these.

Performing Art Piece w/ Malia

Image
The performing art piece I chose to do with my partner Malia B. was one that should inspire many. At first I had no idea of what I wanted to do. I thought about a music video, but how can I be apart of a performance and put a twist on it. Thus, forth I decided to seek a partner or partners. In class me and Malia coordinated amongst ourselves when we meet. We met here on campus in the Music Department in the instrument portion of the building. I coordinated with an old professor about performing and getting together a group of students to join us.

LOL and we didn't even noti...

(2D)Pacman Grid Art (Marcus G)

Image
For my Grid Art project I took a different approach. I wanted to capture multiple elements of art in one project, thus I incorporated different aspects of art. I thought to myself, what will capture the visual aesthetics of other humans and their artistic vision. From U]T, to my house (all over), to the backyard, to the beach, in my room, I used the traditional grid of a cardboard box. Made with glitter. (This is the actual picture that inspired the art) My grid art project was inspired by my love for retro video games. I've always enjoyed older games like Pacman, Mariokart, Megaman, and more. So with this project I decided to change the elements and leave people in ahh. As appose to constructing a piece via grid (insertables) I chose to go a different. For my project I used a traditional grid from a bedframe box.. Yes I know, not average. However, the (box) bedframe was the base of my project. Incorporated in the piece you can see that Q-tips, Blue Elec...
