THE SINGLE-FINGERED KEY OF JUSTICE
With a single finger, cataclysm is summoned! A discrete ingredient of the maelstrom here, just one of many flavors that will cook the stew of chaos for Skewed Visions’ Birds of the Future.
WORK IN PROGRESS: CHUG-A-CHUG
Excerpt of a recent music composition I'm developing for Birds of the Future, an experimental performance piece by Skewed Visions. It’ll possibly appear in various iterations throughout the show. A version or two might feature live accordion performance, and/ or the original audio flipped around backwards. Hey-o.
Though it might seem a slam dunk, the final title of this piece may not in fact eventually be “Chug-A-Chug”. There’s an argument to be made that somewhere in the vast recesses of the English language, there may lurk a better title.
CLOTH FOLEY: SWEATER FLAM
Some fabric Foley. After messing around with a blanket for a while, I started to use my everyday studio sweater— I keep a sweater at the studio so I can show up in a short sleeved shirt every day and have something to put on if I get cold, which happens from time to time here in Minnesota.
This is an attempt to harness cloth impact as a flam— and a successful attempt, I might add, because everything I do is successful. I’ll probably wind up slowing this down to achieve the relaxed, more plush friction I’m going for with this particular cue.
I placed the pillow (the impacted surface, in this case) on top of a piece of plywood in case there was some bonus woodiness to be gleaned (s befits the scene). There was not, other than the bonus points I unquestionably earned for effort.
