cd band music write up

my bands name is patent application, they are a techno electric rock band with heavy synthesizer sound. house of cards is their third album. house of cards has a theme of gambling and chance focusing on card games and the like (IE, poker). I chose font and colours (black and white ,gray scale) to follow a minimalist theme to contrast the grandeur of casinos and other luck/chance purveyors. the images used were mainly images of card players and similar card based imagery. the music is less lyrical and more rythm ased than normal music of that genre.

CD cover art randomosity

cd cover art

my cd cover band is called kber which is a radio station out of utah. stupid i know thought it made a good name for a pop/rock band late into its second life. The title "but leave imediately after" sounded like a hook line from rock song, or atotally random cover name. te background picture is similar to a time lapse or exposure b/w potait/enviroment shot that a goup like u2 or rolling stones might use.

mysecond cd cover is more of a general alternative/unk rock band perhaps play heavy melodromic or hard metallic songs. image coversion seems to say that we should chang the way we think about somthing like the spider image still i don't think any ones going to buy arecord with a spider face on it. all to aquire was almost totally random choice (i did lose my first title).

composition exercise

decisive moment:is a compositional technique by which the photograph is taken in mid movement to caputure the energy and flow of the image.

"The decisive moment, it is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression." - Henri Cartier-Bresson

watch your head.(upper left) this image is a example of a decisive moment because it depicts good expressive movement and flow starting from the feet and movig up through the body.

the walker(upper right)this image shows an expressive forward movement and creates a sense of pace ,poture.
