Thomas Spande will give a talk entitled "The Art of Revision", on Dec. 28th as part of 4th Friday in Sperryville. Using examples of his own art and original music he will highlight some of the possibilities for enhanced expression, and some of the pitfalls too, involved in revising an original idea in the quest for the perfect artwork. The talk will include a demonstration of principles of multitrack recording and editing, as well as a look at some of his recent drawings and paintings he'll have along to illustrate his talk. Cookies and cider will be served. Cheers!
The talk will be loosely arranged and will welcome comments from the audience. It will not be an art history or music theory lecture but rather Thomas Spande's own studio experience and philosophy in a nutshell. Be prepared to be entertained with some classic French pop music, some Schubert perhaps, and to glean a bit of music theory, art theory, and ideas about digital recording technique along the way!
