Why the Mainstream Media Does Not Care That #BlackLivesMatter

Media Sweetheart Caitlyn Jenner declared "hero" Why the Mainstream Media Does Not Care That #BlackLivesMatter We find ourselves in an interesting quandary in today's media-saturated environment. On one hand we have nearly unlimited access to music, films, TV , news, and more from literally all over the globe. On the other hand, the vast majority of the content that we consume, even from the Internet , is controlled by a handful of media corporations that have very definite agendas that at the least is centered on the bottom line and at the worst exhibits ideological demagoguery by ignoring or simply discounting the reality that many Americans face.  White faces, white stories, continue to take the forefront in American Media ,  even while the country is becoming increasingly diverse. 90% of Today 's Media is Controlled by a Handful of Corporations Most of us are well aware of inherent bias in the media, when scandalous celebrities like the Ka

Using Moviestorm Animation Software for a Music Project

Using Moviestorm Animation Software for a Music Project I have been using machinima software for several years now. Machinima is a video game inspired animation style that allows the animator to manipulate preset characters in a video game environment to create animation. I have used a few different options in the past, from SIMS for my first machinima project to using Moviestorm for most projects nowadays.  You can check out some videos below for my latest project Destiny: Eondwyr, a commission for Malletkat (an electronic xylophone like MIDI Trigger) and comic book panels. The music is from demo versions of the project and I used Moviestorm to create simple screenshot panels that were comic book fantasy inspired.  As you can see the platform is pretty easy to use.

Happy July 4th! What You Didn't Know American Nationalism in Classical Music

When discussing nationalism in classical music, often the first American images that come up are apple pie, the West, and patriotic marches. Yet the American experience for centuries have included the music from all over the globe and from indigenous societies. American music for centuries included influence from Africa, the West Indies , Europe , Asia, indigenous groups, and Latin America.  In fact, when Anton Dvorak, a nationalist Bohemian composer, traveled the United States to gain inspiration for his New World Symphony , he based it on the music of the Native Americans and the African spirituals. To his European ears, the fresh and new American music that he heard was the music most unlike his own. American music traditions and music from the New World (Western Hemisphere) are often overlooked until the 20th century. In the 20th century, European traditions had grown so much in the Americas, that talented composers insisted on training in Europe to complete their studies.
