  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cksD_r8JvoU Modal music became Tonal music.  Modal - Palestrina (1525-94) System hadnt fully developoed yet.. By 120 yrs later we get 2 Js Back, 1685-1750. Back brought tonal system to full fruition.  KEYSSSSSS Major vs Minor. Early composers believed different keys had their own characters. Beethoven thought: Bminor - Black key Ab minor - barborous Eb major - Heroic So much of his music is written to reflect these characteristics. Todays pianos are evened out so we have less key characters. in C major C is home chord. And what we base our perspective off. See all the other keys from our home perspective. Dominant 7th chord provides certainty that we're approaching clear cadance/arriving home/at the tonic. Most pieces end in the key that they began in. KEY RELATIONSS<3  I - tonic ii - supertonic iii - mediant IV - subdomiant V - dominant vi - submediant Whatever key ur in, you can easily modulate to 5 other keys. call this direct ...

 PAITNIG 1.SESSION 1 Can see some sort of chest the more i look at it. Red wound. chest line/scar line.  dripping paint - having intrusive thoughts of ripped open flesh. PAITNINGG1 SESSION2. really tempted to just refine what i did before, but when thinking about it i thought it would be good to try develop how different i feel from when i did the first session, Especially as I was looking at it, It felt like it looked like a chest. Add more curved lines as have more fluidity to my movements, but at the same time still stiff with the compression vest. Think its really important to kill my darlings with this project which is gonna be tough. 03.01. ended up doing this yesterday, idk if i like it or not, but i felt that way about the first one too. I added a bit more to it today but think im gonna leave it for a couple of days. hopefully it will grow on me, as I dont wanna relly do too many sessions. PAINTING 1 SESSION3. gonna do after jan 20th  Did this 10th feb.. found it ...

 Classical..  was going to use a beethoven record i have and record it for ambience... but found new program called musescore4 so been playing w that. going to analyse some pieces i want it to sound similar to to get the same feeling. as currently just been playing with the program. dance?? john cage n cunningham? ballet? jazz? waltz? maya deren film, eye of the night dancers sugar plum fairy?? maybe could use waltz time signatureee composing vids/videooo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6buIdQacoM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOw2Fov26q8 ballet playlist. look at ballet pieces n how they tend to b constructed etc. https://ourpastimes.com/instruments-used-in-ballet-music-12501267.html strings. used to create sweeping textures n moments of suspense. - first & second violins - violas - violoncellos - double basses - cellos - harps sometimes woodwind have a variety of sounds; high flutter n low stomps - flutes - piccolo - oboes - english horn - clarinets - bass clarinet - b...

  Painting from Action video piece 2: interesting how ideas come out as u go along,  started with just wanting to use the black tool i got as its cool n a sponge!!!. ... also a bit of white perhaps.. but started having ideas of what to do and things I wanted to add eventho i wasnt intending to put any 'ideas' into the painting. Eg added a 'T' shape as I was thinking about thats how far i can move my arms up to for 6 weeks after surgery, n then bc of that i wanted to add a 6 maybe somewhere, but then added it as I was drawing a line and made it into a tally looking thing. Also noticed when i started I was using more curvier lines than before. Think this has reassured me, as I think ive been trying to make sure i have this project sorted as it has a limited time frame to do it in, but itll sort itself i think. esp w session 2 on the first painting

  1st Shooting the webcam- just did this as an extra i guess as i liked the angle of the dead red one the camera silhouette- 1st 5 min is the best i think... could add freeze frames after each motion? COuld i possibly key colour out the silhouette?... kinda similar to that short film i watched - the very eye of night 1958 maya deren edit testss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxo6yxg14Gg 2nd shooting: webcam silhouette test edit of footage experiments: Photo screenshot tests of editing the contrast n lighting to make it more silhouette-y: Thinking about it, i think it would have been good if i had more space to film a full body, think that way I always could have brought it in more...  dont know if i really like how the footage turned out, but maybe itll grow on me.. I def like it more after editing some screenshots. SOUND??? monochrome it? This way get the same tone and the first one isnt really really red. makes it less about the painting too as you cant really see the real...

Do another version after 21st on A2 paper without compression thing on. add touch ups to the 1st painting. stiff as a plank.?or just plank as title? dada vibe. take photos after each session. could turn into zine? on recovery or smthn idfk. or trilogy if going to do 3 sessions... give title to each one of the tryptich? could turn it into a zine/pamphlet fold out vibe thing 1st session: 14th 2nd: 22nd? 3rd: 30th or a bit later after newyr? 1. painting I                              Session 1- Take photo of dried img -- filmed on 14th                              Session 2- Take photo of dried img -- 22nd? Film session 2 anyway? go over it enough, kill darlings. but also see some of it through is ok/good/preferred. concentrate less on movement? but also keep it in mind to create new layer.       ...

wrote this out on thursday/day before surgery of the things id decided on. Filming.  kept it short n sweet.  top surgery recovery is no joke!! was very tireddd. between 10-15min was tired. even setting up made me tired n I didn't even do anything bc i asked desiree to do it as i cant lift stuff lmao after shooting thoughts: really wanted to make a video post surgery on painting as I have limited movement n I've done it now so I can chill fully lol . might record another one closer to new year  like was thinking aboit action painting n performance art etc and how they put motion into the painting so to contrast this n make something of having limited movement would be interestin And I think this oncoming year i wanna focus on semantics n my body since I've had surgery n gonna be rebuilding myself in a way after years of being so far away from my physicality . Will b tough but it will b fun . idk what this lil ramble is decided I think im going to perhaps do another layer??...

 Abstract Expressionsim - lack of money & feelings of rejection from American Society & Art Establishment led to artist to turn to other artists  Despite these informal groups, the artists were never quite comfortable with the idea of community  threatened individual indentity (v american) 'The Intrasubjectives' - essay by Rosenberg - create from an internal world rather than an external one - wide range of intellectual references influenced the way thought about self: Existentialism, anti communist anarchism, n the american traditions of transcendentalism n self reliance. Lots of different values/intentions, - the painting as a new object (kinda similar to sculptures?) 'we might argue that these artists were not expressing themselves, but trying to figure out how to make an artwork that was not a version of any pre-existing object' Not having a 'finished' painting. The painting is just the beginning, if successful enough goes on to become something else...

ACTION ART: Have a book on abstract expressionism so decided to use that as primary research. seem to not be about filming them. less about the performance and movement of it. They say its not about the painting but the process, but the paintings tend to be the only proof/evidence of the process. Conclusion: in my opiniion, Action art is still about the 'final' product of the painting.. even tho they say it isnt.  thoughts on action art - not about throwing self about, now think about it i think theres a lot of misunderstanding of action art?? franz kline doesnt paint like a maniac lmao.

doing it on door used red paint as base. thats what had to hand Trying to find studio footage of action art.   Action art is a lot about movement so camera doesn't matter as artist is moving above, whereas the point of mine is that i wont really b able to move so i need to think about camera placement as this will affect whether the audience can see the painting or not. Could use this to my potential? create a silhouette kinda thing in low lighting so its more about the movement of body and the restriction of my arms rather than the actual painting which could be revealed at the end? want to watch more video art?  action painting: decide where to do it?? and shot and angle ideas trying to find refs from studio footage for shot and angle insp… door longways or upright? Action paintings To dos: Draw out map for where lights and camera could go ?? prep paint - needs mixing with water? could do tests do see paint to water ratio? watch vids and look in expressionist book  Q...

Forgot to post about this. I prepped the door for an action piece i decided to do post surgery (which is now filmed yay), and decided to film it for fun on my laptop.   used red as wanted to use emulsion for a nice matte effect n only had red lol realise bc laptop webcam is on the bottom of my screen its hard 2 angle bc can see the keyboard otherwise, but i liked how it turned out. For the sound, I wanted some ambient shite but also at the same time i had paint it black by the rolling stones stuck in my head as the song is about painting doors. thought it would be funny to reverse the song as in the song it says about painting red doors black however I was painting the door red. THen I also thought as I wanted it to have a more ambient music vibe, I would slow the whole song down as the vid was 17min anyway.  Came out cool I think and i feel it has a ritualistic vibe and for some reason looks kinda slow motion even though its not???? sometimes its also difficult to title ...
