About ten years ago I took up drawing again after nearly thirty years of not drawing at all. I had always hoped to start again eventually. It ended up being an Apple iPad that motivated me to get started again. The Procreate app that I use will create a time lapse video of any drawing I create. I recently decided to pair some of these time-lapse videos with some short improvisational pieces that hadn't found a home. It is interesting to watch the drawing come to life. Adding music made it seem a bit like I was watching early film that had musical accompaniment. It is an area I hope to experiment with more. Editor's Note: Below are three high definition video players. Viewers have the option to view the videos full-screen. Plus the videos are downloadable. a moment arrival the turn

Thanks Rafael! There certainly are a lot of art apps available but Procreate seems to be one of the best.

sweet video--I like the artwork. Have you ever used scratchboard to do white-on-black art? It's probably not as forgiving as the iPad...

Thanks Evan! Many years ago I remember doing some scratchboard drawings. I think we had to make them ourselves. Definitely not as forgiving. I don't usually do much editing so maybe I could still do a scratchboard without screwing it up too much. I don't have any idea what I'm going to draw before hand so that helps some.

Great work! I also don't usually know what I'm going to draw beforehand whenever I do get around to making visual art, heh

What a delight! Thank you for giving us an amazing artistic experience. The music is so well matched to the drawings. I have been tempted to get one of those Apple pens for my iPad Pro. I can't claim to be the artist you are, but I like how it jumpstarted your drawing. I am thankful that it did. Maybe it can do the same for me.

Thanks very much! You can of course draw without the pencil and there are cheaper options, but for detailed drawing that feels close to using a real pencil, it works great. If you had told me 20 years ago that someday I would pay $100. for a pencil, I would have thought you were crazy. who knew then what technology would bring. Thanks again.

Phillip KlampePhillip Klampe has been enjoying music and sound since that little pocket radio in the late 1960s started sharing music and weird noise on the AM band. Failed attempts at piano, guitar, and violin over the years eventually led to experimenting with music in the late 1970s thanks to the D.I.Y. methods exposed by punk and post punk music. The rise of the cassette tape networking of the 1980s resulted in the first homogenized terrestrials sounds being made available (1986). Since settling on that name, there have been many releases over the years as well as collaborations and a few performances. Related hobbies are photography, drawing, digital graphics, and buying synths (both hard and soft). Archives |
