WHENTHELAYERSBLEND

INSPIRED BY THE SHORT FILMS I CREATED FOR EACH PAST ART EXHIBITION, I DID A SEARCH OF MY ARTWORK TITLES ON SPOTIFY AND PAIRED A TOP RESULT TO A PLAYLIST WHICH WAS USED AS THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE RECEPTION OF EACH CORRESPONDING ART EXHIBITION.  CHECK OUT THE SIMILAR PAIRING OF YOUTUBE SEARCHES WITH MY ARTWORK TITLES FOR COMPARISON ON THE VIDEO LINK.

THE BOTTOM PLAYLIST IS FROM MY MOST RECENT ART SHOW AND IS SIMPLY A PLAYLIST OF SONGS I HAD IN HEAVY ROTATION AT THE TIME I WAS CREATING THE ARTWORK FOR MY SHOW. THANK YOU FOR CHECKING THEM OUT AND MAYBE THEY CAN BE PLAYLISTS FOR YOU TO INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE FOR YOUR DREAMS! ARTLIFERPT!

 

 

Welcome to Playalistyk Fridays - The REMIX Episode 1 - selenaredhot

This is the music that was made under the namesake Playalistyk Productions around the time I met Karina my friend who interviewed me on my first video podcast featured on my VIDEO page. Proud to say I was never destined to win a Grammy, but the music back then gave me so much including friends for life and the experience to know its not the end result, it is truly the journey and getting out of your comfort zone and letting yourself be free to experiment and it's ok if it is not perfect the first time, just put in the work and let the creative juices flow. 

 

For this inaugural iteration of Playalistyk Fridays, I pair a raw beat I made back then with a current art work of mine to see how even back then the creative process would let me be free and allow my stream of consciousness to take over. I see now how that process mirrors my method of layering and recording sounds then to evolve into how I blend and layer my images I capture through my lens now. 

 

First 4 DMs on my Instagram @artliferpt will receive a physical copy of the this print in either version black and white or color. Enjoy!  Please comment on the Instagram page if you know the samples featured in these personal videos.

The show was a charity concert for Autism at The Mullet way back when. Shout out @noonston ! @doughbeezy and Kab killing the stage per usual. Looking back I thought he was pouring that Purple Sprite, but it was Aquafina 😂 Dope shot still.

Welcome to Playalistyk Fridays The Remix Episode 2 cobainredhot. Paired up the beat from back when with this digital art piece I created more recently when I first started blending layers of my personal images. Real ones will recognize this from the post I put up after the DJ Screw Art reception years ago @camhouston . Link for Episode 2 in Bio on my Instagram page.
Remember first 4 to DM on my IG @artliferpt with the current title will get this print in person or mailed out. Thank you for tuning in!

Another pairing of a beat I made so long ago and a blended digital art piece I created with the most random process of layering my original photography. 
At first, I created these images out of necessity to get as much art out on display at my art gallery, so I would combine multiple layers on a single canvas in my photography editing software in a very unconventional way. The rest is history. WHENTHE LAYERSBLEND was birthed and the evolution continues with my layering of my digital and analog photography. I can't wait to see the next iteration. ArtLifeRPT!

 

Welcome to Playalistyk Fridays The REMIX - Episode 4 - aperfectstorm

 

This week is another rare glimpse into my past as a beat maker just experimenting with the most random sounds vibing and creating something random like how I currently layer and blend my photography. This recording is labeled .05.21.07datrealboom. I take the beginning ingredients of an audio clip from my favorite movie about the life of the most influential artist in my life. I mix and match the vocal clip with samples I recorded from old records in my vinyl collection until I feel like the end result is pleasing. I would get to the point where I wanted to put the beat on loop and listen over and over. Or to make the connection, I will now finish a digital art photography piece and I can gaze into the heart of the framed print at my gallery for hours it seems. 

 

Just starting with familiar items and going in uncertain of what the outcome will be. The freedom to experiment and be ok if the final product isn't a homerun every time. It is just keeping the mind and creative juices flowing, and maybe, just maybe you end up falling in love with your newly created work of art.

 

Remember, first 4 DMs on the ArtLifeRPT Instagram with the name of the episode win a free print of this week's post. ArtLifeRPT!

 

Welcome to Playalistyk Fridays The REMIX - Episode 5 - cagedcreeper

I bring you the fresh pairing of a recent art creation of mine and a Playalistyk Beat from way back when. cagedcreeper the art piece was created for my first art show at Art League of Baytown so it will always hold a special place in my heart. Just an experiment layering a picture I captured of an amazing mural in Wynwood back during my second trip to Art Basel with some digital art I created on a trip to NYC of pictures I took of the Oculus. The beat is called "creepin" so they go together even though created years apart!
