This guy does EVERYTHING. Calls himself a 'Digital Arist'.
(I didn't appreciate his jokingly casual use of the word schizophrenic to decribe his working style!!)
Technology of his childhood inspired his future artistry. Messed with home computing and graphics.
Collaborated in school and after with a schoolmate making digital/ computergenerated music.
Specialised in video arts in a 3rd level foundation degree course. Would make music videos, and make his own music for them rather than using existing songs.
Did a 'Phonic Art' degree at univeristy; studied Max MSP.
Studied MA in electronic sound & composition.
Sounds of his music are lo-fi, utilizes dated technologies.
Doesn't look much at other people's works, so he doesn't get too influenced or lose his own inner inspiration.
treatment : the idea for a music video. Includes aesthetic, influences, narrative and examples of execution.
*look up 'worldising' from Walter Merch*
" A technology isn't obsolete if it still turns on"
