Gigs/ live performance



 
Playing the songs live is a different experience to writing ad a different experience to recording. Coveting the 3 stages of the song and how it feels to play live being mindful how other people may perceive the songs and mindful of how the songs change meaning to me as time moves on. 
Thinking about performance.
 I'm mainly introverted and despite loads of performance experience I'm not entirely at ease with it. I feel most exposed singing my own songs and most vulnerable but most myself.
Something to think about for the meaning of the project and the songs and its ok to not be a performance artist. I wanted to do art to make physical things so maybe this cross over with the music is not a good idea. Or it is its just becoming complicated uncomfortable at times. Moods and feelings are in constant flux so seeing things though means seeing things change.

I didn’t even sing to my children’ Jude Rogers Groomed to be a 60s pop star, the singer instead headed for the Hebrides in a horse-drawn cart and then withdrew from music for 30 years. She recalls those fraught, naive but incomparable times @juderogers Fri 18 Mar 2022 06.00 GMT 150 O n paper, what Vashti Bunyan did in the late...

Frontline folklore doc

  Link to watch documentary Ben Edge Website Ben Edge British artist is a person I've come across during my research , initially for his involvement with the museum of British folklore and the folk costume exhibition. Hes a painter and also a film maker, gathering footage of folk customs across the British Isle during 2019 pre covid and has thus year released a documentary of that journey. His initially attrition to folklore was to make paintings as a romantic artist, but. Like myself he is fascinated by the customs and has become deeply immersed in the scene. Apply this to my project ? How?  The idea of making a documentary, a project blog is how I my document my research and ideas. History is documented..anything that is recoded. I'm looking at making video. What is the purpose of my video? I'm documenting a moment, or series of moments. But are those moments fabricated and fiction?  What am I trying to say with this project? I'm trying to set a vision to my music to ...
