"Come On and Then Pump It" Video/Electronic Music

I am showing you one video/electronic music work that I created for Rochester Institute of Technology's RIT Imagine Innovation+Creativity Festival, which was shown on May 1st, 2010.

This original composed trippy techno-house electronic music with original wild, crazy video were done in GarageBand (a music software) and iMovie (a video software) in Mac. In this video you're going to see, it does not show my ASL translations of poems at all. The only words that are spoken is the phrase saying, "Come on and then pump it!". This spoken word came from a free downloading sound effects site in the Internet. Like Bjork, a well-known Iceland electronic singer, she downloaded many sound stuff from the Internet and used them in her music. I said to myself, "Why can't I do that?" and so I did.

This is my favorite piece of work, for it turned out the most difficult project ever done. It was a challenge to try to match the video to the music. Many times, it didn't work out and I banged my head against the wall several times. Well, I did the best I could with this project.

I will present this music/video and other music/videos along my ASL poetry at NYC for Interborough Repertory Theatre (IRT). They will have D.E.A.F. Festival during the first week of June. I will be one of the performers on June 5th, Saturday. I will inform you all the exact time, location, cost if there is a ticket or charge to get in, and so on as soon as I get the information from IRT.

Enjoy this video.
