someday i'll be the next michel gondry

Michel Gundry is one of a selective few that has a child like imagination that helps him produce very dream like and fascinating works. In “around the world” by Daft Punk I like how he portrays the dancers in the video as if they were a small community of what the world is, such as life, death, technology and leisure. In Star Guitar Michel portrays a train ride through countryside and city, when definite beats happened Michel emphasizes them with certain object appearing on beat. If it’s a repeating beat the same object appears again however many times that beat happens. On the more tranquil part of the music Michel interprets that by either slowing down the speed.

chris k

Chris K lecture, lets see how much i remember since its been over a week and my attention is mainly on a 24 episode. Chris is considered a sound artist. One of his main topics of work that he has done is a language removal service. This service works on recordings of people talking and take out the words and just leaves the “uhms” silence stutters etc. It gets to the meaning of social language and gets to the personal. I think this type of language removals makes people seem kinda clueless in a way. This service is a company that Chris started that seems to be based of the Internet. Chris other sound works is certain scenes from movies such as sounds of guns and the barrels hitting the ground creating a sort of peaceful tune.
