Project 2 Proposal

     I like to produce music in my spare time. For this project, I will document the process of creating a song or a beat. I will screen-capture the production software on my laptop, record my face via webcam, and set up two cameras to cover two different angles in my bedroom. I will then project the final edited videos onto my Launchpad. A Launchpad is an instrument that allows you to play audio and MIDI clips. It is essentially a square with 64 square buttons. I will divide the Launchpad into 4 quadrants and project each video onto a quadrant.
     I want to tell 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. I believe that this would be an interesting story to tell.



Materials:
-Laptop
-Ableton
-Launchpad
-2 cameras
-Screen recording software


Timeline:
-Have videos recorded and edited by October 10th
-Record projection by October 17th

Final Project: Artist Statement & Instructions

sojourn (n.) - a temporary stay. This installation is a music video for the title track from my recently released EP. I filmed this video while I was home for Thanksgiving break. I only used one camera to film my younger brother wandering through Ocean City, New Jersey. We grew up in a town five minutes from there, so we have plenty of fond memories going on amusement park rides, playing mini golf, and eating ice cream. I wanted to capture this sentiment even though we have both grown up. The DIY-ness of the video is intentional as I wanted it to look almost like a home video. We all have place from our childhood that evokes happy memories. One of those places for me is Ocean City. I sojourned home for Thanksgiving, and I wanted to show you all a piece of my home. Instructions: 1.) Turn on computer and projector. 2.) Open the Mad Mapper file "FMX 463 Final." The video will loop. 3.) Play the "Sojourn" audio file. An iteration has completed when the song pl...

Artist Research: Jeffrey Shaw

     Jeffrey Shaw is a new media artist and researcher from Melbourne, Australia. He was born in 1944. From 1965 to 2002, he lived in various places such as London, Milan, and Amsterdam.  In 2003, he was appointed director of iCinema Research Centre at the University of New South Wales. Since 2009, he has been the Dean of School of Creative Media at the City University of Hong Kong.      My favorite work of his is Divine Comedy AR. There are a row of marble canvases along a wall. At first glance, the piece seems like just a collection of marble. But when you look at them through an iPad, the marble comes alive. The marble panels transform into spaces in which 3D animated characters move around and do various things. https://www.jeffreyshawcompendium.com/portfolio/divine-comedy-ar/
