“The Music They Made” – sound collage of musicians who died in 2011
“The Music They Made,” a short video made by Wm. Ferguson and featured in the New York Times – watch for the unusual photographs that you may not have seen before of these wonderful musicans who died this year.
It’s interesting to me that I recognized all of the songs, but didn’t always have a visual of the musician. I liked experiencing through this video the power of photography to enhance my experience, and make it more personal when hearing each one’s music.
What a great example of how simplicity of presentation can also still be powerful.
I miss many of them – Gil Scott Heron and Todd Rungren were unique – the photo of Todd Rungren is great, complex – and the hearing/seeing all brought back memories of happy times.
A nice tribute to a diversity of individuals, contributions to the world, and lasting legacies.
P.S. I like this term – a “sound collage” (used by Mr. Ferguson).

Inspiring Video – Louie Schwartzberg
Video: Louie Schwartzberg – “Gratitude”
I often bypass these videos because they are too “schmaltzy.” But a good friend sent this one to me, and, feeling the need of inspiration, I checked it out.
Louie Schwartzberg starts slowly, but the story he’s telling grew on me. I stayed with it, and once the old man he was filming began to talk, I was hooked.
The voice and sentiment of the old man’s narration is deep, beautiful, and with the enhancement of images and music, effortlessly leads you to a true feeling state of gratitude.
A nice way to start the day –

“Who Takes Credit?” Collaboration Program by Aurora Picture Show Houston tomorrow…
It’s fun to do collaborative projects; I’m drawn to them more and more.
When it comes to showing and promoting the final piece, however, how do you allocate credit? Some artists may have contributed more time, others more artwork, perhaps another had the original motivating idea.
Tomorrow, Tuesday August 23, at 6:00 PM, Aurora Picture Show, Houston is hosting a “Happy Hour Video Hour with Filmmaker Andrew Lampert,” the subject being “Collaboration as a Means of Control.”
Sounds interesting. See you there?
