My work, previously to this course has been film based, working with mixed media specifically, stop motion. My practice has gone through a whole plethora of medians. Starting with drawing and painting, moving to film, and now to music and sound. Its only as of last year, January, that my interest for music sparked, I was given a Fender Strat that someone found on the side of the road in Stoke Newington, and from then on, I started teaching myself guitar, creating music my voice could accompany.
Truthfully, I have no clue of what I intend to up end doing in the future, and don’t really want to in this point of time, I enjoy exploring new practices, new techniques and I think if I had a solid idea of where I want to end up, it would prohibit me from exploring as much as I want to. However I can say I lean more towards the world of music rather than sound arts, this doesn’t mean I turn away from sound art practices, like I said I want to explore and I want to learn, thats why I chose the sound arts course. I think the music industry is slightly fucked in modern days, it runs on power and money (much like every other industry)instead of people and their work, and so I chose to study on a less musically conventional course as I didn’t want my studies to be so industry focused.
Within my current practice, I feel specifically drawn to voices, and voice patterns, how emotion shows through the voice, and so this is what I want my next portion of worked to be focused on.
