Last weekend, I was experimenting with a DAW called Reaper and my Korg x50 keyboard, and this song was born. It’s a campy, sci-fi, adventure, techno song. I convinced my sister to do the voice of Dr. Willoughby’s computer. Take a listen.

In September, I will begin attending the Cranbrook Academy of Art on a track to earn a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Photography.
The Cranbrook Academy of Art was founded in 1932 and is part of the Cranbrook Educational Community, a national historic landmark. Each year, only approximately 7-10 students are accepted into each program (photograph, 2d design, 3d design, etc). It is the #4 fine art grad school according to USNews’ 2008 Graduate School ranking.
From what I’ve read and been told, Cranbrook is very focused on interaction, critique and, most importantly, making art. There are no classes. Instead, learning is done through individual meetings, group critiques, reading groups and field trips. The rest of the time is spent in studio working on art. I’ve always been pretty self-motivated as an artist type person. Cranbrook’s big sellers for me were the focus on studio time and their non-traditional grad school structure.

A video I made about the history of constructed photography is currently on display at the Cress Gallery of Art at the University of Tennessee. The great photography team Kahn and Selesnick, who I’ve previously mentioned on my blog, are showing their work there. My video is being used to show visitors the evolution of this type of photography.

In the last few months, I’ve been working with several art projects. In between those projects, I’ve been preparing for gallery shows, receiving awards and photographing one of my favorite bands. I’ll talk about my photography projects in another post. This post is about everything else.
