Vonnie’s Sound of Her Life (Get Lifted)

Because fuck Donald Trump. He needs to be impeached immediately because he is seriously dragging America into a deep hell hole. I really am in disbelief that he is really the president.

I am obsessed with the sky. It also goes back to the as above photo and my obsession with being able to relax and reach a point of true calmness. Whenever I watch the sunset I feel this.

I hang with the same people every day--Lacy, Kevin, and Erin (mia). All of their voices are present in my podcast and they are very present in my life so it made sense to make sure their voices could be heard.

You can hear in my podcast snippets of me getting my third tattoo. The sound of the needle unnerves me, but at the end of the day I know that the final product is worth the little unnerving I feel.

Ventures into the Chaotic World of Sound and Art

As I entered Hanes Art Gallery the day prior our class trip to I was unsure on what to expect of both the art gallery as well as the field trip. As someone who loves art, as well as contemporary art, I was extremely excited to see the gallery. But more so, to hear it.

There was so much to see and hear at both galleries that bring many questions to me.

What is art?

Must art be understood?

What is good art?

 

I simple answer to all three is: everything, no, and no such thing as good or bad art.

While all three can seem like dodging the questions I believe in all three answers being the correct answers.

I also know I really enjoyed the chaotic nature of what I was immersed in. As well as, it was beautiful and made me think. Which I think is what the many artists wanted.

Here are some of my favorite pictures

SECCA Entry

At first, I found the music to be very strange. The John Cage piece was very slow and almost too random for my liking. However, the other two pieces seemed as though they were early versions of DJ remixes. I thought the progression of Braxton’s piece was fascinating and I especially enjoyed how he used inspiration from strangers. It made me think of the podcast we had listened to for Connor’s listen and tell. When the curator asked what each of the pieces reminded us of, I kept thinking about the craziness of March Madness. Since we are in the midst of March Madness, it is top of mind, but I kept going back to it and thought about how random and unpredictable the tournament is. It’s almost impossible to pick the perfect bracket and predict what’s going to happen next.
