These photos are for this composition course, which I'm doing online with some friends.
I thought the multi-colored "signs" next to the tracks were interesting. Or maybe it was the reflection of the stadium. Too much distraction, though.
Commissioned by Alex Sigman for his musical cycle, this Digital Video interprets and expands a contemporary electronic composition and offers abstracted, textual components that compliment the aural work. 8:20 minutes.
Pictures somehow showcasing separation of main subject with color, contrast, focus, texture or pattern, and any combination of those.
This is my favorite leading lines photo because I like the way the road leads to the hill. In LR I turned down the exposure and turned the highlights to brighten up the sky. In this photo I wanted to capture the feeling of the open road.

During the first workshop in December 2013, the composers worked with the four highly experienced singers of VOCAALLAB (high soprano, mezzo/alto, low tenor, baritone) and Eva Reiter (viola da gamba, Paetzold bass recorder) on these pieces. The singers also presented topics from older and contemporary repertoire, in order to study and compare this material, to share their experiences, and show them different ways of singing and writing for the voice, including topics like the use of text, the different styles of vocalization (from bel canto to traditional or popular voices, world music, noises and new sounds made possible by amplification, the voice as pure instrument, speaking and transitioning from speaking to singing).
This workshop included a lecture by Wouter Snoei, regarding the question of how to use electronics in relation to voice.

This picture meets the goals of the assignment because the window is framing the canisters. It focuses mainly on framing more so than it focuses on composition. One strength I think this photo has is that the canisters are pretty centered on the window frame, and I was able to get all of them into the photo, while getting most of the frame in as well. A weakness I think this photo has is a lack of a focal point-the picture doesn't focus on one specific canister. I was able to crop out some of the excess, unneeded part of the original picture; however, I also wish I could have cropped out the bottom left corner of the photo some more, or aimed the camera a little higher to get the counter top out of the photo entirely. To take this photo, I knelt down a bit and aimed the camera at an angle so that I wouldn't get the canisters directly and straight on. I took this photo at night so that the light from the sun wouldn't stream into the window, possibly causing the canisters in the photo to look washed or flushed out.
