Experiencing Interruptions?

Flower Walk

There is a type of beauty in nature that is intricate and of immutable value and in its own dynamics is something like a law.

Is there a floral pattern possible emerging in music through the study of nature itself? Methods of study can include the practice of researching for a faith oriented nature film with an original sound track, that is derived from study of light and form in botany combined with Bible study as it relates to the practice of music. I have already created such a film, based on such research, and find that it is not enough. This film itself was the beginning for me of the desire to continue the same form of research, and it is preceded by smaller pieces with shorter time frames involved. This film making effort relates to the planned sound track as it evolves conceptually. This practice gave me an evolved sense of sequence that added depth to the sequences. The interplay of nature to human thought shaped melody with emotional brightness, to go on with the practice of the music. The words are all what was written in the Book, interpreted by myself as an individual human being, however there is interplay between recorded sounds of nature and airplanes going overhead etc., and the alterations of the time frame of the natural sounds and the human voice at times with the film editor that is in part based on recording theory, as well as drum sounds that hearken back to personal memories of aboriginal and shaker experience. There is a particular planar experience of the sound in the film. There are more and increasing levels of reference suggested by the cinematography. If the shapes and light patterns encountered in the recently completed segments are considered and used for the focus of ideas for musical development, what will emerge? This film is a sequel to Journey. I am only now beginning to formulate the process of thought for constructing the new sound track. -film making: concepts of visual emotion assisted by sound, visual expressions of faith assisted by sound, concepts of linear time frames, frames, sequencing, light comprehension and mapping assisted by sound, sound compartmentalized by visual frames, in general how music relates to film, how the shape of film in representing nature can be assisted by sound. -music on social media for strategic life enhancement: the flow of social media, and its value system, as a forum for sound expression of faith. -faith concepts assisting music expression, faith concepts assisting the clear and safe expression of emotive texture of music to create a record of experiences and memory with music, story telling with music, Shaker and native aboriginal traditional methods of expressing. There are many social pressures involved in making art in any context that is originated by a repressed voice. Faith can smooth this and make it artistic. -There are concepts of time and space within science that are like metaphors for some aboriginal ideas, that fit into faith concepts with Jesus Christ for guidance. Christ is a spiritual presence throughout nature as well as a Book to read and experience, as well as being God. All of the philosophies about knowledge can apply, with Jesus leading. I see what marks the difference from what is already being spoken, and what I myself can enjoy bringing forward and that mostly involved the structures of nature directly being expressed in the music intentionally as the point, and relating that concept to a type of freedom of space that is sort of fought for, with persistence of originality. -The science of Jeet Kune Do is relevant to my work. Spatial, physical, tactile and object form are within this science, so that I can describe a flower with music in a film using physical techniques and the camera plus some recording with editing. In the Shaker tradition, the word flower in the Bible is three types: sort of a guide or caution that flowers being grown will wither and fade but the Word of God lasts forever, descriptions of flowers in artisan made objects that the shaker studios try to emulate as best they can, and the saying that wild flowers flourish. Thus, wild flowers are good, and art must look up to the Holy Spirit, to Faith, to Jesus Christ, to be any good after a long time. There is a Shaker saying that freedom is probably better than a wrinkle. This says a lot about music, dance, and physical forms of competition and striving for excellence. I see now that I have to somehow fit a life that I was not allowed to have but that I did have only because of Jesus, into a context and I can get that from academic study of music. Academics will allow on paper explanations from me, even require that, when I am not allowed to say anything in other contexts that are available. This integration of Bible reading and personal viewpoint with experience is part of the film design. Of course the Bible is the real starting point of any work that I can achieve, but it is so high up that fitting in under teachers helps me to get away with being expressive yet continue to show piety since I can then prove I was serious all along, which helps with online promotion of the piece that I am fashioning as I go along. I am a Kamloops survivor. I do not blame any atrocities on God. I have a personal background that involves identity of being aboriginal Tlingit native, Jew, adopted child, kidnap victim, partial amnesiac, Olympic athlete, child star with misplaced identity, and now student of law and medicine. I have used filmmaking to develop an innovative testing ground for concepts of sequence when have almost nothing, to try to get back up. I do not have any addiction or innate confusion difficulties so I do not equate my experience with anyone on that basis. I sympathize with innocent victims that try hard. To explain why I cling to Jesus as the name of God is that I experienced Jesus as a friend to my mind in prayer even when I was oddly being persecuted on various bases supposedly including "faith" for no reason I can comprehend.

This film is completed and it i also in process.
