What some people be doin these days.


"Light Going Out," by D. Kent Watson and Eric Haven

This is a song by a friend i knew indirectly from high school. He is currently going to school at University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee, and undeniably kicking butt. His music is quite genius. Iwas able to work with him on a project, and i am grateful for the experience. He taught me about using digital music programs, as well as the the kindness and friendship generated in musical exchange. He is humble, and funny; his ideas are fresh. And he pushes collaboration over state lines, sending music back and forth between musicians separated by long-distance until a song is finished.

The volume and quality of music he is able to produce is simply impressive.

He is also an art student, and here is one of his art projects.
This is how it's described:

"The camera in the room takes a still frame shot and uses it as a reference image. When there is movement in the room it compares that change with the reference image and determines there is a body. This is body tracking. Than Max/Jitter finds the coordinates of the movements. Depending where the person is in the room triggers different video clips. This gives the appearance that the person in the video is following the person in the room"


his work is fabulous. i'm a fan.
