Wrote a short little Canon for music today. What I had originally intended to be something which sounded super minor turned out… Well not so much. Admittedly, I kind of chose some random chords and wrote the 16 bar variation before copying it into the other instruments to hear what it sounded like. Canon –… Continue reading Canon in C
Welcome to the new age, where we are expected to be available 24/7 and the by-product of your labour is not a physical item as such, but rather a something intangible – information. In the modern life dominated by instant connectivity through the virtual world our society has responded to this instant global access by changing the way we approach the… Continue reading Working All The Time (The Life of Liquid Labour)
Shoutout to Ben Smit-Colbran for helping out with ideating chords for me to digitise. This composition draws upon cyberpunk elements, imagining a future where we have evolved beyond being just ‘human’, instead extracting our own thoughts and converting it to data, to grow and evolve through the internet. Utilising the affordances of a distributed network, the collective… Continue reading The Birth of AI
Basically, I’ve spent the day prototyping. Drawing inspiration from the competitive set I compiled a while ago, and this lovely website which claims to have a list of the top church logos. The design brief outlined “minimalist, simple, flat design”, and so I’m trying to draw upon that, but I’m also trying to create the… Continue reading WIP: Catalyst Logo Design
Yep. It’s that time of year again! The next semester is about to start, and once again I’ve opted to summarise as much of the important information as possible onto a single A4 page. This has been designed to print out and chuck on your wall! If you do happen to use it, then that’s fabulous, just… Continue reading #DIGC202: Subject Outline Recap
As previously mentioned, I sent my recent scribblings for a song to my mate Ben with a half joking challenge to “find chords for these lyrics I’ve written which have a melody I haven’t yet penned”. He said yes, and as such he actually came up with a really weird chord set. I came up with… Continue reading #CheesySongIdeas v3
So I sent my recent scribblings for a song to my mate Ben with a half joking challenge to “find chords for these lyrics I’ve written which have a melody I haven’t yet penned”. He said yes, and as such he actually came up with a really weird chord set. Absolutely doesn’t align with the melody… Continue reading #CheesySongIdeas v2
Some days I’m just stuck for inspiration and this is one of them. While awaiting for the water tank to reheat so I could enjoy a nice, long, hot shower after dying my hair back to red for work, this is is all that I could think of writing.
Sometimes when I write songs I can hear an idea of it in my head, enough to create a rough song chart, of course sans chords; but the rhythm of it is often strong enough for me to want to specify where bars are and stuff like that. Most of the time I forget about… Continue reading #CheesySongIdeas
When carefully constructed control Comes crashing down in waves The hum of life resumes And we must improvise once more. The attempt at ultimate perfection Or rather, overall control Cross examining those around To create connections and predict thought. One must relinquish power Or that which is perceived to have- Living out a brand new… Continue reading Constructed lives.
