Tips and Trades to Music Production

Here is a glimpse at the art supplies created to make King Boo. Boo will be the banner on display during the performance.   This is the most pivotal asset of the presentation. As a New Media Production Major I have access to the studio here on campus and was able to persuade Dr. B. This is the microphone and Amp that will be present, as the projection for my voice.

  Here's an update as to what i did yesterday. Wrapping up the lose ends and perfecting the craft of sketching "Bu", i made my way to a store located in Soho named "Paper Source.: From there i did a little browse on some of the art items i could use to make the banner. In luck, i found paper and art supplies that will compliment the banner back drop for my final performance.  Here is a quick preview of the process of creating cutting, gluing, applying glitter.... Yeah you get the point. It wasn't to hard, but it was tedious. Here's what the sketch is looking like so far. I plan on wrapping up and purchasing more necessities to fill in for what you see. This is the banner, created from scratch. It's probably bigger then your average human girth. Hanging from the ceiling of the black-box, it will be displayed slightly over my head, as i create the environment of a live show. 

  Progression on this project has been incredible. As noted above, here is an example of what the actual poster banner for my backdrop will look like. I took the time to practice drawing and constructing everything from scratch. Despite this image being a darker boo, unfortunately at the store, during the time there were no more bigger pieces of art material to reflect the same color. So I may have to go with a traditional white. The banner itself will be bigger then the average human body.   This is a template for me to build on and over this weekend. I will be finishing the final banner to hang and drape as I perform a spoken word.   ** The audio track for this is complete, but as of now I am choosing between one of two instrumentations that I have constructed from scratch**   Practicing today, I will recite and rehearse the spoken word. The footage for it will be taken during class and later uploaded to the site, to give you a feel of how the oper...

 he above picture is the pre process of what the final performance will look like. Despite the Camera being directly in the front, i will have my camera set up behind the audience in a similar like position. Accompanying each guest chair, will be a complimentary beverage (undecided) and a snack refreshment or the duration of the spoken word. Here is an image of the spotlight setup. I messed around with a couple of settings in my adventures and found the correct lightning that i want, illustrated in the above picture. I will use this as a legend key when do the actual performance to set an ambiance of being on the stage. The sole intention of the project is to project "One's Self-Individuality." I will express this by having an instrumentation, constructed from scratch; being played and mixed by none other then our own "Dj Joey Jam." He will be in the back and the music levels and volumes will be controlled by him, with the speakers provided in the black...

Everyday there is a new opportunity for exponential growth in life. Different opportunities, different views and views. Over the break I had a chance to visit a very special experiment in the Kusama exhibit, located downtown in the Art Museum of Tampa. The experience in itself was everything more than expected. During my visitation, I took the time to study a few different things In relation to the artist. Me as an artist, I took meaningful insight on more then just the exhibit, I took special note of the art display, the poem and meaning of the words, and essentially the overall experience. A few things I noticed immediately about the artist prior to entering the exhibit, were the meaningful words behind the inspiration of the art. The display and fashion in which the art was presented, and most importantly the art. My experience broken down was more then what I personally expected. Entering the museum, I knew the connotations associated with Art Museums, so cognizant...

All good things must come to an end, and Heather Hart is the last and final artist i will be reviewing for the semester "Ocular Rooftop Experience and Judgement"   "My work explores nostalgic futurism, amalgams of distorted traditions and symbols, handed down and mashed-up to fit our prospective needs. My works are meant to expand with public programing and viewer activation. I am interested in not only creating site-specific miniminal space for personal reclamation but also in questioning dominant narratives and creating alternatives to them."   Picking one installation by this artist, the above." This particular piece intrigued and grabbed my attention for several reasons. The art put into it, the presentation, and the subtle colors.  I found it interesting that she incorporated the themes that she typically associates her art with. Her theme being "rooftops". More so, i took away alot of meaning from this drawing. Initially, i thoug...

Greetings, It's been a fun ride and making it to the end of the semester is always great right? Well in this case yes. I've enjoyed the ability to learn and comprehend how to use projection mapping, that for my final project, I've decided to do something incorporating such. For the last and final project, i intend on recreating my logo artistically and using some sort of projection mapping in a confined space of the Black-box. With that being said, i haven't wrapped my fingers around the exact details of whether or not i would like to perform. If i do decide to perform i will be constructing a poem or a song, to openly express my love for music and art in general. A music video including projection mapping isn't all the way out of the ruling however, i'm still in a limbo as far as what song i would want to perform. Given no constraints, i will be trying to incorporate as much stuff pertaining to music. However the art side of things, everything will ...
