THE SAME FIVE MILES

I created this piece with the concept of the everyday in mind. I addressed the repetitiveness and pattern in my every day that drives me to intense boredom and sometimes depression. To feel like there is no breath of fresh air in my days, no change or burst of excitement; leaves me wanting more. I captured what my day looks like – from walking to class to catching bus after bus. 

In order to create this video, I utilized a video camera and iMovie to edit the final draft. In terms of audio, I recorded with a standing microphone, my studio session with Kevin Packard in which we pieced a song about my everyday together. Then towards the end of the movie, the finalized recording sounds.
