Now that that’s out of the way. Meet new media artist Richard Bone, a man who tackled electronic music composition and thought “why not learn the visual arts as well.” He did an okay job at it too.
Bone was one of the first artists to start using audio synthesizers in performance and improvisational context. He’s made music within the realms of dance, new wave, underground pop, jazz, lounge, bossa nova, and more. Towards the end of his career, he began working on visual pieces to accompany the music he was creating. The videos and images look like someone collected stock footage and then edited it to have the same filters and transitions as an “epic high” scene in a classic 90s stoner film. This is my way of saying they are usually abstract and include a lot of bright colors. They also remind me of the old videos that would play in the background of that TV channel that just played music all day which when I think about, I really miss (#simplertimes).
I was happy to stumble upon Mr.Bone and his work because I think the idea of putting abstract animations to ambient music could be a cool route to take my Project 4 ASMR audio. However, the fact ASMR isn’t rhythmic could cause problems. We shall see.
Something Richard Bone isn’t good at: creating websites. Check out that (and his work) here … http://mkmk.com/bone/videos.htm
