Hey guys! So first of all, in a lot of pain today due to the fact I have the back of a seventy year old, struggling to get out of bed! But, this hasn’t stopped me from making several steps in my project these last few days!
First of all, I should outline that the premise of this project has changed slightly and I’ll explain that now!
I am now creating music to sit against a time lapse video of a forest over a year. The musical ideas are still staying the same, keeping to my interpretation of how I want seasons to sound and still staying in two minute slots, creating an eight minute piece in total. I have found a fantastic time lapse video which you can see in my last post! Providing I get the go ahead to use this in my display, I have a very clear end goal now! I should again note that I won’t be taking any credit for the creation/participation in the time lapse video and that all the rights go to the artist who created it.
Secondly, providing that I can get the necessary equipment and the space (which is already in motion) I shall be unveiling this piece via a projection in a small gallery space just outside Lincoln! This will include the video being projected and the room being lit up with ambient mood lighting to once again, strengthen the idea that the seasons are changing. People will be able to come and listen to my piece whilst watching the time lapse I have found to accompany it! It is my hope that people will hear the audio and be able to understand certain aspects of the track and see how they reflect the seasons or how I think they reflect the seasons!
So far all the feedback for this project has been fantastic so everyone who I have shown it to, thank you for being so positive! My next step is to sort out a definite date for the unveiling, the equipment; lighting, projector, seating space etc and start the first stages of recording the piece in the studio!
Stay tuned!
