Different Trains: Day 6

This week we viewed experimental videos made by Matt Flowers, Éder Santos, Kevin Gallagher and Nic DeSantis with music by sound artist Stephen Vitiello. We also watched an excerpt from a performance of Different Trains that included video and a unique stage set-up.

Editing then continued working on videos begun last week, with a focus on practicing looping clips and adding special effects. We also learned how to add a soundtrack to our pieces, blending recorded sound from our cameras with music from freemusicarchive.org.

We shared our pieces and discussed what we found interesting, surprising, or unexpected about them.

At the end of class we revisited our audio work from the first few classes and brought out our instruments to practice phrases based on selections from our pieces.
