Allatonceness (final final)

-



 In my final project I wanted to share all of the work that I have done so far for my music. By doing that I shared photos of when I performed live, all of the musical projects I worked on and the artwork that either I or an artist I collaborated with painted. I also shared multiple music videos that I have edited and been apart of. It was really refreshing doing this because it gives me a physical example that I at least have made some sort of progress with my art. The last thing I want to do is to not stay consistent, so by putting all of my work into this powerpoint it helps me understand that I have a foot in the door. Throughout the term I have been working on a lot of music and wanted to share a couple unreleased songs also, so I left some links that take you to my soundcloud.

Project 1: Who is Xavier?

  What's up world, class, or whoever else is reading this, I am Xavier Yon. As an artist I would say my vision is to create music that spreads a message of understanding patience with the world and ourselves. I struggle a lot with the idea that I have to be at a certain level, specifically within the music industry to have a body of work that is respected. It takes a toll on me a lot of times because it takes away my ability to enjoy the things that I have done and to appreciate the work that I have put in through the many years of creating music. It sucks when you work so hard on something that you put a lot of time and effort into and then feeling like you didn't accomplish your goal due to the lack of acknowledgment from the world. Everyday I struggle with this type of feeling, but when I create my songs I want to do the opposite. I try my best to leave messages in my songs that surround the idea of taking care of yourself and realizing that even the smallest of things that ...

Everything We Do (is music) Soundscape

Soundcloud I was excited for this project because I have been currently working on a new song and this gave me the motivation to finish it. The song, as of now, is named "Out of Time" and it is with my friend Aliana. I really liked the idea of "the ear favors no particular "point of view"" in the Mchluhans reading because I truly believe in this take. I love songs that pan and bounce around all over the place and I try to do that myself in my own music. In "out of time" I added effects like reverb, saturation, and delay to put my vocals in a unique space and I feel like it turned out pretty decent. I hope yall enjoy.

print/book/and exhibition

 The best part of this class had to have been the exhibition for our prints. I never had any photos of mine ever hung up in a gallery setting, so to see my work hung up on the walls was super cool to see. I've said it many times in class but this project has made me ambitious to work on my photography. It's a skill I never really tried out,  but when I was out and about taking photos it brought me a sense of peace. Unlike music I din't have to work with sounds which a lot of times makes me exhausted. But when I was editing a photo I felt like I could work longer than I would with the music. One thing I really loved about the editing side of photography is the ability to completely change whatever the original photo was into a whole other type of idea. I found myself completely going overboard on certain settings, not really knowing what I was doing but eventually getting a product that I ended up falling in love with. The main example I can think of was the sun roof of my c...
