I hope this project helps me get back into my soul, my art. I really want to create new work. I am hoping to change my skills and show new and better work compared to my older work, with these new props to help show the stories in my series and photos. I am hoping if I can get my work in nice frames, it will have a better impact, look much more professional, and create even more of an audience and some revenue. I love my old work, but am ready to grow into something even bigger and stronger. I also want to have more mental health brochures and narcan kits available at my show. I would also like to speak at a meet and greet about my story and mental health and addiction awareness. To track some change I plan on having a sign in book at the front for names and city. I also plan on being there for a meet and greet for any questions and I plan on writing down questions, or remarks people have about the photos, I have not done this before. I think this would be good for future ideas for photos, or something to touch on in a speech in the future.
We were able to lighten the load of our gear, making performing in various locations much easier. With the Hammond we were able to instill the digitized and unique sounds needed for the wide range of projects with much less studio time. It also allowed for us to have a lot of fun learning and experimenting with the capabilities of the technology and stretch our skills as performers. In doing music and sound effects for ?100 Years Ago, Today", the keyboard allowed for the music to more appropriately suit the era in which the story telling for the show took place. We have moved from being just a band to a creative team that works as a conduit for artistic collaboration. All of our performance opportunities over this past year were well attended and significantly widened our audience base.
