THE SOJOURNER FALSE

Hey everyone, sorry I couldn't really be a part of the class towards the latter part of the semester...and for some time in between.  I had surgery and hopefully will be completely over my ailments within the coming months.  I'm going to either continue or redo projects that I worked on during class, and I'll post them up here for everyone to see.  If anyone is interested in contacting me to do a project of any kind, please do.  Add me on Facebook if you would like my phone number.

Thanks,

Zakk

Hey guys and gals, go check out my new sites.  I got a job with a company called WorldVentures, and the way they handle the travel business is absolutely amazing.  Go take a look at what I have to offer and let me know what you think about it.  Get involved, you will not regret it!

Oh holiest of days, most relaxing siesta of sabbaths.  I find myself exhausted to the point where my exhaustion fails to exhaust me, leaving a worth of exhalation to be deemed most unsatisfied.  The fumes of my carbon blueprint are that of waste in which life is born, but not to create the life in which fumigation poisons this once precious cycle, whereas we find ourselves playing as pawns against one another, in a fabric woven by our oral defocation.

No sleep + Xavier: Renegade Angel = What the fuck.

Alright so if you haven't gone on the Youtube Channel yet (which you all should have by now), you can add the option to add favorite videos to your Facebook page.  Go watch all the videos on my Facebook that I made favorites, because they are freakin' awesome.

Also, you people suck for not commenting on new posts.  But I still love you all.  Except you...yeah you know who you are.

Please comment on new posts.

Your boy,

Zakk

Hey everyone, figure I'd put my WIP's up here.  Can't wait to make gallery pieces, or at least finish up the stuff I'm doing.  Most of this, if not all of it, was done in Pixlr (www.pixlr.com - think a free, cheapy Photoshop but still able and willing) or Facebook Graffiti.

Enjoy.

So aptly named because that it what I envisioned when listening to my final playthrough.  I'll put my other sound projects up...whenever I finish them in my free time.  Audacity, while great, is starting to look very limited.  If anyone has demos of other programs please let me know.

Thanks,

Zakk

How dare you all degrade your projects.  I am ashamed to be in your company.  Seriously, do not say that bullshit when we do our gallery, of which I have not started my work, because I WILL proclaim myself separately.  If your making something unique and in your own right, blood, and vein...don't knock it down.  Have some confidence and man up.  Please.  Don't make everyone look bad by making yourself look bad TO YOURSELF BECAUSE OF YOURSELF.  There is no reason for it.  If you really think your work sucks...than either deal with it or suck it up.  Everyone else in our class is going to enjoy it for what it is, because we are all going through the same experiences.  I'm sorry to be harsh, but it's getting annoying that no one has any confidence in what they are doing.

I hated Illustrator, it was a new experience for me, and yes I complained about the program, but at NO TIME did I say my work was lacking...merely that it was harder to convey my concept.  Self degrading?  No.  True?  Yes.  That does not make something bad.  If you think so, than stop making creative productions, because we don't want to be involved in something if you personally aren't.  If you at any time would like to be a professional, have confidence.  Otherwise, you will end up as a guy/girl living in a Mill backalley waiting for Malt Money every Friday night.

That being said, I would like to discuss the project that we all worked on.

I thought it was AWESOME!  If you say otherwise, don't talk to me.  This project was fun as hell, and really challenged my representation of sound.  I'm sad to say that it was really difficult for me to find the right beats and tunes, and I had multiple projects going (Four to be exact, some of them in class on my Mac Partition [ed. - Wish that was backwards compatible, would've saved me time and added to my work] and some at home), including that I got sick on Wednesday and had to continue without the use of a microphone and MP3 conversion ability (yeah, it can be helped to mix your tracks - layering is complex though).  So anywho...the one I ended up with is kind of a mash of a whole bunch of different stuff I was working on, more in the Experimental House vein without having a real chorus or structure (I did this purposely, I know I will get marked off for it.  I plan on doing a ton of these sound projects, they're fun as hell).  Yes, it would have been nice to have had my other projects and to be able to mix PC and Mac partitions, but until the government owns all companies that make a profit I'm probably SOL.  Unfortunately, my laptop isn't converting to MP3 and I still don't have an ASU site, although I'm going to once again work on both after I'm done posting this; So for now, my project is in Peter's inbox as an Audacity file.  But I hope you enjoy the crazy randomness.

Essentially, I only had  a couple mic tracks that I recorded before it stopped working and a beep that I messed with A TON.

One of the voice tracks says COMMON SENSE and the other says FATHERS BOMBS.  What I did was actually record myself saying phrases backwards in their correct word order...and it sounded awesome.  I still think it sounds f'in sweet.  I sounded each syllable out, wrote it down, than said it in a way where I either could or couldn't reverse it to have it make sense.  Cool right?  The whole phrase for FATHERS BOMBS was "Bombs Make Good Allah".  I don't know why I picked that.  Random, I guess.  The COMMON SENSE one was something like "The Common Sense of our Fathers is not so Common."  A little cliche, but if you think so, fuck you.  Haha no but really these were just things that popped into my head.  The ribbit sound...jesus I don't even remember how I got that.  I love the beat, I'm going to go back and completely revamp this thing when I get the chance.

DON'T HATE YOUR WORK, LOVE IT, EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE DOES.  There is never a best, only better.  For if you reach the best, you will never be able to improve.  Enjoy.

So, lucky me, I just realized that I had to save my Mac Sound Project to the Mac Partition an can't open it on the PC.  Lame.  Anyone know a way around this?  Otherwise I'll just do two separate projects.

I am checking this damn blog almost as much as my Facebook now.  See also: Thrice the checking time of email, news, and other randomness combined.  Also taking out of my study time.  See also: Right now.  Currently playing: Money Folder by Madvillain.  Currently playing: ALL CAPS (Video) by Madvillain.  This is the second greatest music video of all time.  The first greatest is Nothing Like This by J Dilla.  ALSO, IMPORTANT: CHECK OUT THE HALO 3: ODST TRAILER! THIS THING IS HOLY SHIT STATUS! NO JOKE!  POSSIBLY THE GREATEST COMMERCIAL OF ALL TIME!  IF YOU ARE INTO 3D ART WHATSOEVER, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS A VIDEO GAME, THIS IS THE SINGLE GREATEST MARKETING EVER USED TO DATE!

Please check out my news bar and feeds.  This stuff is unbiased and radical.  Also, anyone know how I can constrain font within a column?  Al Jazeera News is really pokin' it's way into the columns...it's 9/11 x A THOUSAND!
