Meeting with Belinda

I unfortuanlly missed David this morning as I had a doctors appointment, but I went into uni just so I could still have a meeting-ish and luckily Belinda was there so I had a chat with her. So my agenda last week was to find my final song. But I was struggling to find a song, dont get me wrong, theres lots of songs that I could use but I was in a little bit of a mixed mind.

1. I want to take a really famous orchestral song that everyone knows and associates a particular thing with like "bolero" with ice skating and make a new set of visuals that completely changes that.

2. I had two songs that I really like these two:

My only problem with using these songs is I wouldnt be able to do anything with my installation after uni because of the copyright. I just really love the textural elements to both the songs.

3. Find a song that doesnt have any copyright.... Im still working on finding one that would be suitable. I have emailed Yann Seznec that gave me the song for my final 3rd piece in the hope that he might have something and I have also emailed some local bands and orchestras. We will just have to wait and see!

So this is pretty much what I talked to Belinda about and she can see my predicament so what I have decided to do is not pick one song at this moment in time but to pick a few and then do a few sets of visuals and do a ton of media tests which will hopefully help my thought process
