Video Deconstruction

I have a routine I do basically every day or at least every week. Some times that routine gets repetitive and boring. Sometimes I just wonder what life means, should I stay in the routine day in day out? Should I change the routine up, am I happy with my life? The questions every person asked themselves when you lay down every night. I feel like sometimes you need to just check if you are on the path of life that you want to be on. Stop some days and change it up. Smell the flowers, go for a walk, do one thing a day different than what you did the day before. There should be some kind of change in your life or days will start to blend into one another. That why the speed of the video gets faster and faster. When you do something once it feels like it takes a long time. Then you do it again and its faster, and again and again. It starts to become one and you can’t tell where one day stops. At the end of the day will are just sea monkeys in a tank basically.

Music Movement

I feel like Hardcore, Punk, Goth Industrial, Electronic, House musical movement all play a part in Animals As Leaders band in Progressive Metal.  Progressive Metal is not your standard screaming metal, most of it is instrumental overall. Progressive Metal is more geared to people who play music, because of its use in guitars, basses and more. Many bands in that movement use 8 sting guitars and 6 string bass, for example Animals as Leaders.

A lot of this music uses a lot of technology behind it to tone and shape the sound of the guitars, basses, drums, panino, and many other kinds of musical instruments used. It all has to work with technology to play the music. First, you need the input of the guitar though the pickups in the guitar. Second, the input goes either to an amp, computer, pedal, toner, or few other options.  Then, in computers you can change the sound to almost anything you ever wanted, or it can just go out of the amp. So, every single step evolves some kind of Technology in its process.

All of the 5 music movement have a part in Progressive Metal. Goth with many of the harmonic scales play a part in Progressive Metal. Electronic music mainly plays a part with the keyboardist in the group. House or Blues have advance scales, and when they are put into metal they give less of that heavy metal feel. Hardcore is still one of the main parts, because in many sound it has hardcore music undertones. Punk movement both with the sound and sometimes how the people are dressed. Some of the band members can be dressed down in that urban decay look.

Some altogether they all the different music movements play apart in Progressive Metal in some way or another. In all these different movements they all have to use technology. They actually have to use technology almost 100 percent for their music, because all of them are powered by electricity. For Progressive Metal their sound is changing constantly with the progress of technology.

Perforamnce Art Nose Picking

No one really reacted to the nose picking. I also did the video during black Friday, but all the camera angles were really bad because of the crowed. I did this video because I remember as a kid always getting in trouble for picking my nose. Now it seems like no one cares really if a grown man picks his nose in Walmart. I thought there still would of been a little more of a reaction to the nose picking At least someone would laugh, and there was more reactions to the phone taping it than the picking of my nose.

Xerox Copy Art

I have a rock wall in my room that I work out on all the time.  I hit my head against the fan almost every day. I was wonder what all this head hitting is doing to my body. Then, I thought what if it grabbed my hair one day and swings me around and round while it goes. That’s kind of the idea I had about the me hitting the fan. I wanted to make this art as creepy as possible, so I used stop-motion to show that. I used the vision sounds to enhance the feeling of creepiness. https://youtu.be/dTuO0AASIcc
