Change of project direction
Posted by Chris | Filed under Uncategorized
Haven’t posted to this blog in awhile on purpose. After my presentation and feedback from everyone, I took some time to do some research on the state of digital music and realized that I’d like to stay away from music distribution on the web. The new direction of the project is going to be an interactive music video, in which you can remix the tracks as well as interact with the video elements themselves. An example of this is The Arcade Fire’s music video for neon bible. You can click and interact with the objects that appear as the music progresses, and the scene changes as well. What it does not have is the ability to remix the song, which I am going to include (such as changing the bass line from a rock style to a reggae style bass line). As of now, I’m working on different visualizers and effects to include. I’m working with a specific song at the moment, but would hope to create a general framework so that any band could take their multi track files, replace them and use their own images in the video. Feedback on this idea is appreciated, and I’ll be going more in depth into the concept during my next presentation. Thanks.
