Record Project Ideas

1) Cut Up Playing Record - I got Bing Crosby and a Hawaiian themed record. My goal is to go with a similar theme to "It's a Wonderful Life" because I know I want to base my projection off of that. Bing Crosby, to me represents Christmas, the time and all things wonderful, romantic and sort of classic. A huge theme in "It's a Wonderful Life" is traveling and escaping one's current situation. I want to break  up the two records (one representing the classic, traditional, pleasing to the ear music - BING) and the other representing travel and fantasy (the Hawaiian themed music). 

2) Given away already, I want to use the movie and Christmas classic, "It's a Wonderful Life." I do want to edit bits and pieces. I may play the entire movie but edit the sound significantly and have that play as a separate entity! I'll have to experiment. 

3) For my larger project, the mechanic piece, I want to create a sort of wind chime or mobile. I think it would be neat to made a wind chime, completely independent of forced mechanics. I want to use cut and formed records, along with bells, and other (probably) found gadgets. The noise will be created by various pieces put onto the structure and I definitely want each piece to have its own sense of movement, able to spin, go up and down, etc. The piece should look simple and clean in the end. 

Taste Not Midtown Restaurant Tour

This is my brief sample of flourishing restaurants in Midtown. I'm extremely interested in the local food movement and love diving into it. The piece evolved into an experience more than a simple description solely on taste.

The portions in between visiting the restaurant are meant to be both fun and contemplative, replicating a walk to your favorite restaurant.

If you haven't tried some of these restaurants - I highly consider it.

Hope you enjoy - now go eat!
