Time: Visual Narrative

Video

Idea/Process:

The beginning scene I wanted to have a clock ticking and then the transition of the shot of a lighter flickering to the beat of the clock’s tick.

At first, I wanted to film the video of me and another person in space in a way because, in my dream, I remembered that I was floating.

But I didn’t think that the scene would contribute to my soundscape as much as this film I took on the plane.

I felt like this could contribute to the sense of space and time that related more to my soundscape.

 

Time: Soundscape

 

I am doing a soundscape a very odd dream of mine that I had a few years ago, to this point is still remember, but could not really explain. I wanted to establish an easy four-beat rhythm in the beginning as I recorded most of my sound on my own as I try to make this as original as possible. I started out the soundscape with a steady four beats of the clock ticking and the four beats would repeat its rhythm but the sounds would be different each of the four sets of beats. Then, it would transition out of the four-beat rhythm and it goes into this space where you would feel a sense of spacial environment as you hear bubbles coming from a glass container. Then, I created the transition back into the four-beat rhythm as you hear the heartbeats, which I intended to show the start of a slowing down of time and the pause between the heartbeat and the exhale would make more of a drag of time and a sense of space where you feel like your in an empty spacious room. When the transition of the piano begins, the four-beat rhythm comes back as the piano starts with four chords replicating the other sets of the four beats. As you listen to the orchestral music you will suddenly get disrupted with a sudden panic-like breath as just if you woke up from a dream or nightmare.

Governor’s Island

Teleportation of Cotemporary by Aleksandr Razin. This piece is made up of different parts of many cars, as it is put together as a motorcycle. This piece is expressing that teleportation is a transfer of objects to one point to another without traversing the physical space between them.  This represents sustainability as it is made up of “trash”, or parts of the car that would just go to landfill.

The “Drawing the Line” by Monica Delgado. This piece is layered and dripped with acrylic paint, which is dried and compressed. As at first, I picked this piece is because my first impression is that it was made with old dried acrylic paint that was left over by the artist. As I went home and did more research os this painting, I realized that this piece might be made with new materials of dried paint.

 

 

 

The “Paper Cave” by Samuelle Green’s. It was based on the idea that people in this world are taking so much from the natural world as, structure, and design in it and use it for themselves but often forget where it comes from. This piece is made up of recycled pages of cut-up books made into a beehive-like cave that spills through the doorway.
