Arts in Progress

IMPACT Final Week, Day 1

Spectating and Participating

IMPACT Day 9

It was a day of taking two different roles, the one of a spectator and the one of a participant.

Conferences presented by people from different countries were thoroughly intriguing as well as perspective broadening. It was yet another day of realizing technology taking a pivotal part of the music industry and of our future.

In the afternoon, I participated in a recording session of a composition. It was an awesome opportunity to multi-task, playing the piano part and singing all the voice parts. It was such a pleasure to contribute and cooperate with the composer and the recording engineers.

Application of IMPACT Philosophy

IMPACT Day 8 (week 2)

We further explored the technological means to digitize our expression. What an intriguing time it was to witness and understand the practical application of the program's philosophy. It was thought-provoking, indeed.Today, we took a glimpse at the future of music and art. 

Searching for Inspiration

IMPACT Day 7 (week 2)

Our group explored various places in Manhattan including the Grand Central Station, The Central Park, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Although displayed art works at a museum are wonderful stimulation for our minds, they are certainly not the only place where we can discover art that inspires us. Our surroundings, from rustling ambience of a busy train station to the juxtaposition of nature and civilization of the central park, strike our senses unexpectedly and breathe us inspiration. Sometimes, the sheer austerity of the mundane life knocks on our minds in ways we do not expect nor imagine.

More means of Expression

IMPACT Day 6 (week 2)

 Today, we learned another means of expressing our artistic creativity. Acting felt as an artistic augmentation of all the previous movement exercise. Understanding the theatrical element will certainly enrich the ways in which we visualize our ideas.

Meditating session was quite refreshing as it helped to focus on inner peace, fostering our mind to connect to one another and to feel the energy of other participants.
