beatfreaks

For my video art piece I deconstructed videos I took at concerts as well as other random videos on my computer. The concert footage is from two different dubstep concerts, Bassnectar at Terminal 5, NYC this past November and Borgore at the Honeypot in Ybor City this past October. I used Windows Movie Maker 2.6 to blend different clips and add various video effects. The title Beatfreaks comes from one of Bassnectars albums, Beatfreak Bohemia (2002). The song which plays at 1:27, titled Delamure was released on this album. I also featured my friend Bailey dancing as well as my friend Maddy using her L.E.D light-toy, called an Orbit.

I can't believe a musical artist who isn't a real person, which was made as an advertising ploy, actually has more fame than so many amazing musicians. It's one thing to love a character...but to revere such a creation for musical talent, to have such a concept sell concert tickets...that just doesn't sit right.

It would be one thing if people accredited her talent to the people who produced her songs and all of the material her fans love, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It's just disturbing that a figment of a marketing team has received so much dedication and popularity.
