The Music of the Everyday<\/p>\n
Artist and composer Matthew Wilcock<\/a> looks for patterns in the everyday and creates music from them. It\u2019s easier to quickly watch an example<\/a> than to explain:<\/p>\n Instantly thought of the video for Star Guitar by The Chemical Brothers<\/a>, directed by Michel Gondry. They also seem like the sort of videos you would have found on Mister Rodgers\u2019 or Sesame Street back in the day.<\/p>\n In addition to traffic, Wilcock has made music with people on escalators<\/a>:<\/p>\n Each escalator and path is assigned three notes and they alternate between those as the person\u2019s head breaks the line. Lowest note closest to camera, highest furtherest away. I love the idea of involving all these people unknowingly in an artwork. Recorded in Liverpool St. station, London.<\/p>\n And a bird eating<\/a>:<\/p>\n Factory workers<\/a>:<\/p>\n Bees<\/a>:<\/p>\n You can find more of these video compositions on Wilcock\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>. He\u2019s most active (and popular) on Insta; check out his Tour de France<\/a> and swingset<\/a> videos there. (thx, andy<\/a>)<\/p>\n
