     This piece tells the story of the proverbial bedroom producer. There are a countless number of people who produce music that dream of being discovered. Some end up becoming famous while the majority do not. But they persevere, practice their craft, and improve their skills. While others sleep, they are still working into the late hours of the night creating a potential hit.      This piece shows an abridged version of the process of creating a song. The video is only about 5 minutes long and it shows the finished product. The unedited version is almost an hour long. The song you hear in the finished product is actually the second song that I made during this project. I wasn't satisfied with the first song so I started over. This is the reality of the bedroom producer. It usually takes multiple attempts to create something great. However, once you do, it is so satisfying. 

The videos have been edited and formatted for MadMapper

I filmed everything last night and put the videos on the student server

     David Rokeby is an installation artist from Toronto and has been active since 1982. At the beginning of his career, his work focused on engaging the human body. His more recent work involves video and kinetic and static sculpture. His work has been shown all across the world. Some such examples are the Venice Biennale in 1986, Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria) in 1991, and the Mediale (Hamburg, Germany) in 1993.      My favorite work of his is The Calgary Scroll  (2017). It was commissioned by the City of Calgary as a part of the renovation of 8th Street. It is a 150ft LED display that curves and runs over the street and train tracks. It displays news stories, advertisements, etc. from Calgary between 1880-1905. Passers-by can even send text messages to The Calgary Scroll and it will display messages related to the text message. Artist Statement(?): "The railway left a scar across the body of Calgary. The Calgary Scroll turns this scar into a repository of civic memory.&qu
