This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Heyo. I take videos of microbes and write music to the videos.

Peertube.wtf is down again. You'll have to slum it with the YouTube link. I'll post the peertube like once it is back up.

I love this tune and concept! Great music that's catchy but has spaces to breathe in. Thank you for sharing.

What is your process and workflow like? Do you sit down and improvise while watching videos, until you find what feels like a characterful connection? Or pick a video first and compose to it specifically..?

Ah it's all over the place. This song started with the drums. I just felt like going kinda wild drum samples completely independently of my microbe footage.

I finished writing this one then sat down to film microbes to put to the music. I usually do it the other way around but I did find this direction kinda nice. I could set up the colors that I use to support the sections of the song.

I do basically improvise on a keyboard and iterate on that to write all the music.

My other video Copepod Dies was the opposite where I had footage that I really wanted to write music to. So it really just depends on which side (music or footage) has a more compelling story for me base the other on.

Neat! Thanks for indulging my curiosity.
