Yay, I'm thinking about sound in video today!

I'm no good with sound, or music, so this is pretty difficult.

Last week, though, I recieved some killer advice for my video/animation on the seven ravens. I was tipped off about John Cage's Suite for Toy Piano.



Pretty cool! I'm having awesome flashbacks to Interlochen and watching 4'33

This is more of a video blog than anything else. I guess that's ok. Remind me to talk about printmaking though, sometime. I've been etching like crazy! Intaglio and relief in the same plate. It's pretty much blowing my mind.

Sometimes I think I'm too casual in the way that I talk about art, espescially on the blog here. I have to write an artist statement for painting, so that'll probably help. I'll use fewer contractions though, don't worry. I'll also use the word "though" less. And I won't write it in second person.

OH, but I was talking about sound. Right, I was also just directed to The Free Sound Project. I am ridiculously impressed by this. Free Sound is amazing. Just fantastic. I had to get sound for an animation I did last semester, and I ended up looking at a Flash resource website that the worst most useless sound on the face of the planet. Never again, I say. Never.

Anything else? I'm going to go to the library and check out John Cage tomorrow (forgot my overdue library books today. yikes.) and meanwhile, I'm going juxtapose some free sounds to my animatic and make a list of remaining paintings. OH and check out a camera, probably.

Go Team.

(there is no "I" in "team" but there is a "me". And there's also no "you". huh.)

L-A-T-E-R that day:
