| This is my first project for my collage course I'm currently taking. My source material was from a few movie posters for a film called The Postman (Il Postino) from 1994, national geo from 1989, and some other misc advertisements for cars mostly (the large text) from the mid to late 80s. The original image for the poster was the main figure offering a flower to his lover. I chose to remove him from the initial space and explode his head into a deconstruction of his unconscious mind. |
Recently I had to opportunity to collaborate with my good friends Connor Olthuis, and Matt Tavares during an art show in hamilton. I had a bit of a rough time with my equipment, everything seemed to break the week before along with the night of. That being said we still did a fun little set of noise. Matt had just learned some live coding the week before, so he was messing around with that, Connor was running his bass through some heavy effects, and I was mixing a sound patch I made in max along with the output of my sound sculpture. The whole night was awesome, lots of really great music/ noises were made along with some really cool projections. You can check out where I've stolen my pictures from , and see many more here > http://camillejodoineng.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/lairlayer-2/

| This is the mechanics of it, basically just some old guitar and bass parts along with a piece of pvc that I covered with rosin and attached to a motor. Although it is a fairly consistent drone, because of the slack of the strings and the rough blobs of rosin covering the pipe, the sound is more dynamic then I was expecting. The idea was to have I flipped over the opposite way that it is shown here, to conceal the workings, just to have some small bolts and the drive shaft apparent from the outside. The issue is that the rosin rains down and makes a mess so usually I opt to just keep it vertical. I would have taken more photos but thankfully Camille has already done such a nice job of documenting things ( Thanks!) |
