Song of Earth : Cycle One : The Shouting Star
September 20, 2019
Welcome to Eliason Gallery
By way of (re)introduction:
Today marks the relaunch of website after a few months of reconfiguring for recent updates to the Divi theme from Elegant Themes. The gallery site has four primary areas; Material, Virtual, Human and Avatar. Moving forward there will be more content added as projects are completed.
Streaming now is the first cycle of the “Song of Earth” chant, entitled “The Shouting Star”. The percussion featured in this cycle was performed by Andre Suazo and the guitars by Byron Nemeth. The painting for this piece was painted in 2004 and is acrylic on birch.
material
| məˈti(ə)rēəl |
Material :: noun :: the matter from which a thing is or can be made ::
From first sketches to the final strokes of a magnum opus, the material arts remain our first and best expression of imagination. Grey-areas aside, material art refers to works that can be touched and do not require electronic presentation.
virtual
| ˈvərCHo͞oəl |
Virtual :: adjective :: computing :: not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so ::
Plug It In – Upload It – Blend It – Shop It – and pray the power stays on. We love this infant art form of all things made of 1 and 0.
human
| ˈ(h)yo͞omən |
Human :: adjective :: of, relating to, or characteristic of people or human beings ::
People are those things you see when you look up from your phone. They are actually pretty interesting although susceptible to old age, disease and death.
avatar
| ˈavəˌtär |
Avatar :: noun :: chiefly Hinduism a manifestation of a deity or released soul in bodily form on earth :: computing an icon or figure representing a particular person in computer games, Internet forums, etc ::
Seemingly a new idea but actually quite ancient and oddly intertwined with performance and acting.
