Percussionist looking to create...anything




This first video is an example of some music and sounds that I am currently interested in and am (mostly) capable of creating. This particular piece is actually what inspired me to collaborate with an artist that specializes in technology. The music is set to a poem that is shown in the beginning, but feel free to skip directly to the musical portion (around 0:55).







This video is an example of some manipulation I had in mind for the "technology specialist." Of course, the content he is creating and manipulating is produced only by his voice (feel free to skip to 3:30ish). The variables that we can manipulate together are endless, and I am open to creating absolutely any soundscape, through-composed piece, etc. We can use any instrumentation and any electronic manipulation imaginable.

Hopefully these two videos paint some narrow framework for my artistic thoughts - I can't wait to go through everyone else's thoughts and see all of this cool stuff!

  1. Re the second video: I love the idea of finding a way to share unadulterated the creative visions, voices, dances, music, etc... that we as creative individuals see/hear/pray might actually work etc... in our minds and spend so much of our lives seeking to make exist in the world for others to share and not just within our own experience of it.

  2. I LOVED the beatboxing video. I've always wondered if something similar could work with saxophone but I imagine finding a way to mic it properly would be complicated as sound comes out from a variety of tone holes instead of at a fixed point like the mouth. I would love to investigate this!

  3. As a drummer and a dancer these resonated with me the most.

  4. I also love the idea of using live interactive media like on the TED talks video, would love explore this more using the flute
