RESEARCH REPORT

-


The reason I choose the Cellist is because I want to know more about the Cello pieces, performing and music theory stuff. However, Charlotte Moorman is not the one if you want to know about classical music :)


I'm very glad that I did my report on Charlotte Moorman, I comes to realize that one performing artist could be audacious, vixenish and crazy despite of her personality is conservative, quiet and elegant. Before this I always assume that one's art, the achievement of one's behavior, reflects their personality.

This is my first time reading one's biography because before I always find fictions much more interesting than biography. Why would I want to know about their personal life and private stuff, I'm not trying to copy her way to success! But now I realize by researching on you own using online journal, reading published books, looking at credited photos and watching videos can create personal connection between you and the artist rather than just read their achievement on wikipedia page(which is biased by some other scholar). 

Looking at the path she walks through, I know the friends I admire in conservatory is not as cool as I imagined. They are all human after all. From her childhood experience I get a more in-depth look of classical musicians as "starving artist".

Welcome to the Jungle

Welcome to the jungle! Where Chinese art,    Esperanto ! Movie edits lost frequencies' music, my dogs and other memes find their balance to merge together.  In the center of this connectionist model, it is just me doing random stuff that I think it's worthwhile at the moment. The material will shift over time just like how Marshall McLuhan points out that “all media are extensions of some human faculty psychic or physical” because I'm changing over time. I'll embrace myself with the world rather than confined the vision to myself because the purpose of my arts is serving as the reflection. So feel free to open up and talk about your feelings after viewing. My arts shifts from one specific period of time to another, since being overexposed to the media era. However, Bahá'u'lláh once says Make ye every effort that out of this ideal mine there may gleam forth such pearls of wisdom and utterance

Wake up.(One minute experimental video)

The concept I tried to convey is spooky and weird.  This photo is a glimpse of the video, hope you don't get scared! I feel really inspired when reading the Space and Time . I think is really interesting that when comes to the topic of Time, we naturally think of light and water.  First, My original thoughts were to capture the light changing from complete dark from the left of the frame to the right, but it became really difficult, not only because I forget to wake up six in the morning, but also I don't know how to shoot the shot.  Second, we are overwhelmed by information every day.  I tried to express this thought by overflowing background track when people throwing events on the bullet board, the unstop Instagram story, and youtube algorism. I want to express my feeling of suffocating and scared when making that. However, there are a lot of elements that are missing  Anyway, there is one video that I took this week of the snow. It's m

The sound track with the reflection

Hope you enjoy it! As the  tropical vibe  change into  winter snow. From "what you see is what you get"                               to "see  for yourself",  we tend to believe more in visuals rather than our hearings. Personally I using Siri to write for the French listening homework because they speak too fast, I can only understand when I'm looking at the subtitles. "Most people find it difficult to understand purely verbal concepts. They suspect the ear; they don't trust it. " --Mcluhan So in this project, I record the guitar sound but slowly transfer to midi keyboard, at last is just the snow sound I record with my phone in my boots. The outcome is like hotpot with everything together, however what I originally want to do is a Pop song with tropical vibe melody. I don't really like the idea of everything we do is art, and every sound we make is music, but I understand how you make usage out of your origin
