donald johnson – IT IN Place http://futureofthebook.org/itinplace Fri, 30 Jan 2015 18:02:02 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.15 Closer http://futureofthebook.org/itinplace/2013/09/30/closer/ Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:38:44 +0000 http://www.futureofthebook.org/itinplace/?p=4576
Music video for Donald Johnson’s song, “Closer.” Recorded By Javier Hernadez-Miyares at his Rego Park Studio. I like to call it the Rego Ragga. The instrument you see at the beginning is a small Indian made synthesizer that is used to play Sitar and tabla against etc. It fills in for those weird squeezebox and crank driven drones that are used in Indian music to such wonderful effect. Javier likes to collect all sorts of odd little synths and electronic noise makers I thought this one would work well with the “Eastern” sound of this song, while still being contemporary…. plus I thought switching it on would make a good beginning and ending of a shot.

An Animation for Donald Johnson’s song Pain. I made over 2,000 individual images iin Photoshop in an attempt to make something like a handmade digital animation. I call the characters cogs. They aren’t cats and they aren’t dogs and they aren’t people. They are part of a narrative machine.

Song written and sung by Donald Johnson
Music arranged, played, and produced by Javier Hernandez-Miyares
