I haven't shown you these things in awhile!

i have made five so far-----they will connect to form a greater pattern. rhythm !!!! tones from color. I just need some sounds.

also i have texture from "dry-dropping" a circular copper plate--to emboss the paper.

I have also thought of just photocopying the image so I can stretch it out forever, but then I will loose the color (and texture).

once I apply text, I will probably just do both.

Found sounds: interview of Derrick Scott, found on rented recorder

layoutz

Last night I worked on the layout of this new track called "Kin" We have been playing it live for about a year now, and I finally have started working on the recorded version. It may change as the drums and guitar still need to be recorded, so sections of this layout of the song maybe shortened or added onto. I am super in love with speeding up instruments, this track I sped up the ukulele part two times and it creates these beautiful ping pong poly rhythms.

progress on sounds, things building into parts, parts building into structures, structures building into systems, systems verge on interlocking, all is good.

Images and Sound

I took some more photographs today and tried matching them with the sounds I've created.

Originally I was going to place an image of a tree with this sound but today I found these seeds...

I will attempt to search the databases of the UGLI or the Graduate Library (or possibly NOAA), given that the Museum of Zoology is house of a lot of information which could be extremely useful to my research.

A Divergence

Ever wandered how Martial Arts could be of benefit to the community?

There are a myriad of Martial Arts classes and schools.

In terms of peace and harmony and/or getting along with others, things don't really make sense. But it does seem like martial artists seek greater truths in this world. :)

For artistic technical reference, I chose Christian Lassen for my possible art work and technical inspiration.
