Musical Experiments
--->Experiments:
For experimentation, sometimes I combine self-composed music with visual art. One composition is set in a satirical tone to depict a phenomenon in which teenagers chase parties and become less inhibited from taking drugs. The F# harmonic minor scale music clip starts out with psychedelic music with futuristic sound effects, which symbolize a charm that the sense of mystery brings. However, it ends with suspicious music with heavy dose of stringed music, which symbolizes depression and loss after coming back to reality and leaving the temporary pleasure. The other composition is about the musical and physical representation of the process of adopting cultural diversity and exchanges of multidisciplinary ideas, a cornerstone of university learning. The beauty, texture, and endless possibilities of a singular color shine much brighter when it is mixed with and contrasted against others. The commingling of colors represents acceptance and bonding of cultural and ideological differences.

It is a piece I created for a fictitious Electro Party at night club after composing the music, which can be commercial background music. The neon lighting and drug at night club give me the idea of using nail polish to create those fluorescent effects that seem attractive and desirable; however, they also cause dizziness and vertigo when getting too bright and strong. The movement of the colors also reminds me of those party people dancing.

It is a piece I created for a fictitious Music Festival, where people from all over the world get bonded together by music, and everyone travels to enjoy and share diversity. It was also based on a self-composed music clip, which can also serve as commercial background music.
While making and listening to this music clip, C major makes me feel peaceful and healing. Various colors symbolize people from different places, and the water symbolizes the festival and music itself. The commingling of colors represents acceptance and bonding of cultural and ideological differences.
