Commentary on the sonorous accompaniment of the videos of How Do How Do The Lovely Thing



The visual tapestry that comprise the videos of S Brian Adam's How Do How Do The Lovely Thing  are accompanied by a sonorous tapestry of S Brian Adam's Opuses. I collaborate with Mr. Adam, as I take each image and enable the transition from one visual composition to another.  I imbue the videos with a motion, a meditation on the similarities and differences in each visual frame.   Also, the music is altered, compounded, changed in this process of bringing the videos to life.



After the transitions of the videos are completed, the sonorous accompaniment to these images is embarked upon.  The sounds of each Opus are taken, not necessarily at the beginning of the piece.   The beginning of the video may utilize the middle section of the Opus.  Then other sections will follow.  It all depends on the mood of the visuals. 



Most importantly, the Opus will usually be accompanied by another section of the piece, simultaneously.  So, if the Opus is one hour long, the middle 10 minutes will be overlapped with another part from that same hour long Opus, perhaps from the beginning, or the toward the end.   And then, a third layer from another section of the same Opus will be added.  Yet, each accompanying layer of music will have its own level of volume.  We may hear the same piece of music in the next sequence of the video, but at a different level of volume, accompanied by another, different,  section from the Opus.   



Brought together, these different levellings of the Opuses are enabling the videos to be colored not only by images and colors, lights and darks -- but by variations in the sonorous aspect of the videos.  The Opuses are another color, another atmosphere, another offering in the experience that is How Do How Do The Lovely Thing.   S Brian Adam has suggested that this process that I facilitate is as a "selector and functioning materializer" of the videos.  I choose and arrange the Opus in such a way as to give us a foreground and middle ground and background to the same Opus.  We hear the Opus at different levels of volume.  We hear the sonority as it is sculpted to the needs of the visual presentation.  


We see the images of   How Do How Do The Lovely Thing  in different visual and dimensional possibilities, as we hear the Opuses, as well, in different sonorous and dimensional possibilities.  There is no end to existence, and within the development of existence, we create what fills and educates and impels existence.  How Do How Do The Lovely Thing  pierces the atmosphere  of light and of dark -- as simultaneously, it pierces the atmosphere of sound.  It declares itself relevant, and then harmonizes itself within the atmosphere -- fostering peace.
