So, hey. It’s been a little bit. Okay it’s been 4 months. Whoops. Sorry about that. How about a prompt for old time’s sake?
Tell a story.
I think that as we get older the more important personal stories are. Anecdotes, misguided tales of adventure and that one story you always tell within 45 minutes of meeting someone. When your roommate walked into a stop sign, how you found the best restaurant that no one knows about or when you got chased out of the apple orchard. We spend our entire lives accruing these stories, there’s nothing better than sharing them with others.
So let’s share some stories. Draw a comic, take a picture, write some prose, a poem, a song, chalk drawings, just write down what happened, something…anything!
Tell a story.
I decided to accept the distortion challenge both visually and audibly!
Since Cats Milly stated she would never make a sympathetic emo song about Applejack, I figured I might as well just do it myself!
So I present to you a sympathetic emo Indie pop lo-fi fuzz folk song about Applejack!
Fun facts about the process of distortion:
1. All the instruments, except the accordion, are distorted someway. Even my voice woop!
2. As an experiment, I’ve only used acoustic guitars making this, recording bothy a clean and a distorted channel each time I played it, and balanced them to different sides. It worked better then I’d expected!
A response to the Art Fiends prompt. It is not a positive term, and it is generally inferred as a degradation of the characteristics or even the nature of an object; but can an object be used to distort something greater? The most powerful distortion I face is that of my memories. I often find myself perusing my old mountain photography, caught in the grip of nostalgia.
