Sound art artists and VANS!

So I googled sound art artists and got this great website of many artists and some information about them. >> http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/art/sound_bios.php

Iive also had this song "Vans" in my head by The Pack for awhile now and figured they are considered artists who make sound soo thought i'd share my most recent addiction. You can also watch some other videos such as "In My Car" and "I'm Shinin'". >> http://www.thepackonline.com/

Eh...

Here's a link to an artist in Dayton who builds sound sculptures. Not particularly avant garde, but interesting.

Ukuleles and The Little Mermaid

Hey so my English class watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly this week and our professor showed us a video where a group of Ukuleles play the main song, if you have ever seen the movie it is really funny and if you have not, you may still know the tune you can find it at YouTube on http://youtube.com/results?search_query=the+good+the+bad+and+the+ugly&search_type=&search=Search

I also looked up info for my favorite Disney movie and found the composer for The Little Mermaid's song Part of You're World this is some information on him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Menken

Sound Art

I define sound art as a creative process in which the end project is listened to. The process can be very diverse, ranging from field recordings to loose compositions to highly crafted planned compositions.

An artist that fits into this category is Christian Marclay. My favorite of his pieces involves dragging a guitar on a gravel road with a pickup truck. Read more about him here http://www.whitecube.com/artists/marclay/

Here is a you tube interview with him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yqM3dAqTzs

Andrew Patteson is a recent graduate of OU who used sound in his thesis show. Check out his work here http://www.andrewpatteson.net/

Here is an interesting re-mixing project where a guy combined Jay-Z and Weezer. http://www.jay-zeezer.com/

Here is the website where you can download audio files http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/index.php

So, for Thursday, be sure to visit everyone's posts and comment on the artists listed. Also bring one audio sample to class on a flashdrive.
