However, behind the scenes, I've actually been doing other stuff. I did put my Music for the Media class on hold for a couple of months. But, since I'm going part-time in school, I should (I hope) have the time to finish it, and I'm going to turn my attention back to it this weekend.
But, in the meantime, I've been doing some experimental stuff & learning how to better make use of all the upgrades I've made to the studio. I've basically made the switch to using a bunch of products from Native Instruments in addition to Cubase. Well, their stuff is neat--but is taking some time to learn how to use efficiently. These folks make great products, but I wish there was more guidance from the company on how to use their products...
...So, I've been digging a little & in the process decided to jump back into a project that's a bit more artistic in nature. I first started with a few tentative attempts at using Kontakt to take some vocal samples (freely available) and map them to midi regions, and finally to morph the clips by pitch & by time.
It's funny how inspiration decides when and where to strike. From there, I decided to pitch an idea for an art project to a friend of mine--and a great artist. (I don't want to name him just yet in case he'd rather not be. But, suffice it to say that he paints & has a really distinctive style.)
Well, the idea was to combine the presentation of his artwork with music that corresponded to the art. I know people have used background music in art galleries, but I wanted to have a more personal experience, specific to the art, and for the viewer to choose when & if they wanted to listen.
