Doctor Strange!

The First page of Doctor Strange  “Most people find it difficult to understand purely verbal concepts. They suspect the ear; they don't trust it. In general we feel more secure when things are visible, when we can "see for ourselves."” -Marshall McLuhan For my project, I decided to adapt a the first page of the very first comic Dr. Strange comic, opening with a man restless in bed due to recurring nightmare, deciding to call for the titular Doctor. I thought it would be interesting to adapt something from a comic since a comic is an inherently visual medium (I should know, it’s my medium of choice), and adapt the energy of a comic panel into audio form, so I tried to capture the haunting atmosphere of the visuals into background noise. In the comic it’s raining, so I recorded myself on the shower and used that for the noises, I also recorded other noises like me tapping on a window, some sounds of a dryer, and myself whispering, the comic doesn’t show any noises like this...

Dead January

  DEAD JANUARY   Link to album My photo set here is named Dead January, I’ve never liked January as it’s always been a really annoying time of being cold while all the snow melts and gets dirty, kind of highlighting the rotting of a lot of structures, it’s also spiritually the beginning of work for everybody and it’s when all of the worst movies of the year get dumped. So I took a couple of pictures that I felt capture that kind of death felt during the beginning months. I wanted to take pictures on an actual camera but didn’t figure out how to work it and had to use my phone unfortunately. I also didn't get to figure out photoshop in time so these are all unedited, so I guess that's a problem.  Though I guess that fit’s into the early month malaise of wanting to do something and it not really working out.
