Dark Electrocution
After evaluating my life, I think to myself, “So I made a game.”
Yes, I did. But I can’t help but have this feeling of, “So ya’ made a game. So ah…now you’ve made a game, but if you’ve made one and ‘yer so ‘smart’ then…[fill in the blank here with comment/sassy question of choice].”
And that’s where I’m at. But when I think about that, it makes me remember that emotions aren’t forever. Emotions come and go. Inadequacy and the “other side of the hill” types of emotions are all just as fleeting as simple pleasures. It’s the work itself that sticks around…but even the toughest stones and most durable crystalline hard-disks don’t last forever.
That makes me think about a song…no. It makes me think about a music-video.
This music video is called, “Jakim’s Dark Electro Mix” of a certain song. Now, the artist who made the original song that this “mix” is based on…hmm…well let’s just say she posted it to her, ‘secret’ YouTube account. So I’m not sure if she wants this more edgy side of herself on the net. So I’m going to encrypt her name phonetically — [ vhee – art – vhee – art].
As basically a forward-thinking and positive guy, I’m able to see the big picture and fine print in things. For example, in this video the artist says, “nothing is permanent.”
Yiza. That’s so cool.
I totally agree with her. If life was supposed to be permanent, we’d be made of permanent things like stuff that’s not supposed to be dumped in the storm drains.
Let’s talk about more things.
You know that old saying of, “You are what you eat” I agree with that statement. It’s as if…hmm..it’s as if eating snacks and foods are a declaration of behavior. Tonight I am some peanut butter cups and coffee. And even that’s not permanent, that’s because I might make some veggie stew later. Can you see where I’m going with this?
The original video that this video is based on, was made completely in Audacity with multiple layers. That’s creativity on a budget. The Electro Dark Mix was made with tools that I’m not sure about. But I can tell you this: There is no way Jakim used a canned track or a stored track from his vault in order to make this Electro Mix. The song goes way too well with the complexities of the original swells and starts.
When I watch this video I laugh. What will you do?
