WEEK 3 – RICHARD

New thing, gonna write my notebook in day subheadings

MONDAY:

Tutorial:

What’s it like in my mind?

I dunno… im just putting it here online as is asked

I decided to ask if i could turn lewis’s melody into kelsey’s song

Music documentary

Watch meeting people is easy:

  • Satellite going down black & white slightly sci-fi
  • “Hi this is Colin from Radiohead…”, sound of annoyed announcement with photos on tour
  • Rain down… “The next morning you wake up to find that the world’s rock media has sewn its tongue into the back of your trousers”, one of the interview – that would make a great cartoon
  • Backstage
  • vocal warmup
  • Going live on stage, camera following them onto Lucky

THE WORDS & ARTICLES FLOWING DOWN made me think of the time I was walking down Gutweiler to the playground, and being constantly overwhelmed by all the ideas that come into my mind for Kelsey, as well as how Kelsey in this world would constantly get ideas for songs, and how much of a strain that it is. And that connected with me constantly having to write ideas down about this character, that pressure, to always note down ideas, always blog. And it’s here now stronger than ever. 

TUESDAY

STORMZY & LOUIS THEROUX ON DATING WHEN FAMOUS:

Would be cool if this had an element of Jukebox Musical, with some original songs. Couldn’t actually then publish that stuff. But yeah I wanted to do that dystopian cabaret back then. 

Moonage Daydream (Ziggy Motion Picture Version)

My Iron Lung

Fan von Dir

Teil dieser Band

THE END:

There was the idea of Kelsey having loads of pictures cards trying to figure out who she was

And also the idea of this symbol/motif of rebellion (need to draw that symbol) being reproduced and still sold. 

TEIL DIESER BAND ENDING

Me singing it with Kelsey, all the Kelseys having spoken word? Commentary. And the finals section is replaced with this ambiguous epilogue. 

Especially fits if there’s been this really dark sections of consumerism and identity confusion, depression, ROCK ‘N ROLL SUICIDE???

Kinda excuse just to sing this song, ALL THE KRAFTKLUB BOPS

And in this background, a film of all the highlights of being in the music  The fun, is this is the light at the end? All interviews. 

ALSO THOUGHT OF THE SYMBOL BEING ON A BIG WHITE PIECE OF CLOTH (need to order that), being the banner. And also project something onto it, if you can see it

KELSEY! AS A COMIC BOOK:

Urania sent some sketches 

Meeting with Theo now and maybe Bethan.

THE CHARACTER OF KELSEY, ALSO VISUALLY:

WHEN TRYING TO CREATE A SKETCH/IMAGE FOR THE CHARACTER 

she/they pronouns

Mixture of Kendrick Lamar & Halsey.

Bald Head. 

Musician.

Anxiety 

With a band

A big audience, a sea of a crowd. 

Images of discovering an old vinyl.

An old DJ system.

How do they write their songs? Do they play an instrument?

They play Ukulele when Niamh plays them.

THE DYSTOPIAN WORLD:

If I had all the time would try all the cliches, make a collage, hehe cheating

And then make it more original. 

ALONE WITH MY HEADPHONES:

I like talking with people, and the idea of collaboration. But then sometimes I just like putting my headphones about and moving free. 

I do a lot of vigorous typing. 

KAPOW!:

Is Kelsey a superhero(ine)?

Spring-Heeled Jack seems like a fun kind of individual character that would be the opposite to the depressing Kelsey I’m creating. I created this group of rebels that Kelsey was in, that were terrorists that were being used. It was when there were terrorist attacks a lot, quite a few in germany the year before in 2016. And in 2017 there was the attack in manchester. Kelsey and the gang look for a group of followers.

Start with this rebellious gang, like norman and co. in the 2018 piece. And they blow up places, and then get blown up themselves. 

  • INTERRUPT THE DYSTOPIAN MOODY ROCK N ROLL SHOW WITH A CRINGY SUPERHERO SECTION WITH THE MUSIC AND SPIRIT LIKE THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN SECTION OF THE WAGATHA SHOW.

THE OBSESSIVE CULT OF SMALLVILLE carving into women’s skin sounds like the obsessive side of fandom one could explore xDDDDD

The seduction of the innocent. The fear of moral panic.

Who’s the enemy for kelsey?

Honestly fuck the hero’s journey. 

MUST MAKE A TO-DO LIST.

KEEP MAKING THE TO-DO LIST:

Insert Recording:

THURSDAY:

In the drunk moments of 1:30am i gained confidence for Fan von Dir the musical.

FAN VON DIR:

Maybe also add so schön, as a real shouting of frustration, other ensemble people join too

COLLANORIZE ME:

Let’s write out this scene

Kraftklub – vierter september:

The lyrics

FRIDAY:

Devised performance – in all languages:

Use it to portray a crowd 

Ideas from niamh:

Strap Artist B to guitar strings????

Each character 

The book of dust 

Creativity as a symbol

Piece of light represents creativity, takes light, take some light source 

Detroit come human. 

Those are made of people

Sexualisation of artist, even for minors

Oversexualisation, fan fiction out of control 

The magic of hearing & creating tunes

SHOW THE JOY OF MUSIC

TO GRAVEYARD, THE JOY OF THE BRAINCELLS.

DRAW THE CREATIVE PARTS OF SYNPASES

INSTEAD OF SOMETHING SO HEAVY LIKE THE ZIGGY MOTION PICTURE VERSION OF MOONAGE DAYDREAM

OR AS A POSITIVE SIDE?

HAVE ABIDISH DRAW IT? SOMEONE ELSE DRAW THE EXPANDING, GROWING CREATIVE MUSICAL MIND

THE CUP:

Sorry I lost the cup. Where is the cup? Did I leave it in the School of Art Project Room? Did I accidentally throw it away? I dunno. I lose things. I break things a lot. But I collect cups a lot.

Throwback to 3 years ago. I wanted to make my original project: “Lives of a Coke Can”, where my project was actually connected to the Everyday, about coke cans and coffee cups. I took a cup from Backwerk Bakery (the German Greggs in a way) in Hannover.

I was told later to focus on one thing. So I left out the cups. Kinda wished I’d kept the cup, which I did, had one text I wrote while crossing London and its bridges after the People’s Vote March. Academic institutions you can’t get me. 

I found a similar looking coffee cup when i bought coffee at the Hugh Owen Library, the cup is similar. I played round with it in the workstation:

And now my aunt is asking me this weekend, well 2 weeks later from the perspective of Week 3. I still can’t access, I still can’t connect. But what??? I don’t know what I’m talking about. 

Is this personal enough for you???

I’M ANGRY

I’M UPSET.

I DON’T KNOW AT WHO

AT EVERYONE
