From the sessions that we have had so far I have been inspired to use certain aspects of both post-modern and multimedia to create an installation to take place in studio three.
I have been excited by the use and reuse of old material and collating it with other old and also new ideas to produce and post-modern esq piece. In order to help create this I will be using multimedia as i feel it can create certain dimensions and produce different aspects for the audience to pay attention to.
I have given myself the the of lost hope and will be using the song Bittersweet Symphony as my muse to guide my performance. It is a song about being stuck in the mundane and the idea that you can break out of any situation, any state of neutrality you find yourself in. This fits in with my piece with the sense of denial that comes along with it. Running along side this idea is homelessness, redundancy and anything else that can leave someone losing hope where maybe there once was some.
Not only does Bittersweet Symphany run parallel to my theme it has also come under scrutiny of plagiarism. The Rolling Stones The Last Time was covered by Andrew Loog Oldham’s orchestra and a subsequent sample was used by The Verse. However, this sample eventually became the whole song and eventually The Verve had to give credit to Mick Jagger.
In terms of what else the performance will entail i am not too sure of. I know that sound and projection will be used to guide the audience through the experience but what sound and projection are still in the pipeline at this stage.
