FRANK ZAPPA SAYING "WORDS" A LOT
I took a TV discussion from 1986 featuring musician Frank Zappa which explored whether a form of music ratings system proposed by the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) due to conservative's fear of "youths being exposed to pornography and sexual violence by rock music" should be inforced. Zappa was one of the few outspoken musicians who opposed the proposed legislation and regularly debated people on the subject, even speaking infront of the US senat. The clip I chose as an example for this originally was about 25 minutes long but was cut down to mentions of the words "word" and "words" since the original discussion was about rock lyrics.
BACH ET OVESEN
I took the first four out of fifteen minutes of a performance of Bach's "Flute Patrita in A Minor", analyzed the notes and re-arranged the video according to a monophonic transcription of a composition of mine (the solo section of my song "Tahwide Abel Matla'a Al Fajer" to be specific) that I released under my pseudonym Levi Ovesen in 2021.
