Do I have style yet?

Rhodium - fresher than woolworths.

Yeah, I love this stuff. When the problems with the valves on cans goes away it'll be the freshest paint on the market. In my opinion anyway.

Sunday in the winter sun.

Back.

Well, where have you been?

Answer is nowhere special, I've just been engaged in some all-consuming endeavours.

The Synergy Project was a fascinating fortnight of self-reassurance, for photos and stuff follow the link in my profile.

Quite seperately I took an aerosol art workshop at DaKlinic. Link right there in my list. Definitely worth the time, as I came away with a much better grasp on the aesthetics of graffiti. I might never be a master of this artform, but I wasn't about to walk away from it understanding nothing.

I'm waiting you know, for the special episode of my life, where we step over to the alternate universe, and I'm actually a really good artist, who's work sells more than once a year.

A word on musical ability.

In the recent past I've had a number of conversations regarding coloured hearing and making music. People tell me it should be easier for me than other people because I can see the sound. I think that would be true, if I had note->colour. Those lucky ppl have perfect pitch. You play em a D flat they know it's a D flat because it's green. or whatever. They know the next notes are an E and F, because they're teal and blue, or whatever.

I don't. They're all blue, because you played the notes on a piano. The thing about timbre->colour is that while the non-synesthete next to me hears the three notes and appreciates that they're different, I do the same, but my brain also tells me that they're all blue. Two notes from the same instrument will always be nearly the same colour to me, which really doesnt help me to tell what's an A sharp and what's a F.

This is the sort of thing I'd love to discuss with synesthete musicians, and perhaps one day I will be able to.

Move.!

If there's one aspect of multimedia art I find appealing above all others it's the inclusion of time. Change. Truely dynamic slabs of colour, instead of suggesting movement. Audio is more of a wishlist item for me. I like the idea I can use it, but the skills just aint there yet. If they ever do develop, the possibilities are practically endless.
