SoundProject

I’m sorry this is so scattered and brief-- i’ve been sick with that flu for a week

I’ve actually got a good idea of what I’m doing for my sound project and have about half of the recording done as of right now—it’s going to be a mix of hip hop beats and news samples primarily from DemocracyNow! and Sean Hannity with a focus on racism and racial dialogue in America. The clips are everything from headlines of hate/race crimes to disparity statistics to one-on-one debates. The idea is to show how race is still a real and volatile issue that has not gone away and will not go away just because we elect black men president or because x amount of time has passed since slavery, civil rights movement, etc.
The music i’m going to use is “Kill My Television” by Alias who is a musician from the Anticon label out of the bay area—I plan on cutting it up quite a bit and looping it underneath the vocals for effect.

Today I’m going to bring in the clips I have recorded and show some of the music and clips that I was thinking about using---It’s hard to say what i’ve been directly influenced by. I’ll try to bring in some of that as well, but I feel like discussing my project as it is now and getting feedback as I move forward is more important right now.
