Tour Poster and Video

Happy Saturday!!

I’m happy this Saturday because I just finished this new video to promote my projects and upcoming tour. I’m pretty excited about how it turned out. There was a lot involved in the making of it, actually. I had to learn a new technique to make some animations using After Effects. It’s pretty fun and very intuitive. I think once I’m back from tour I may really get down into some animations, it’s the direction I’m leaning with my puppet opera, though I do also wish to shoot live footage of the large puppets. Whew! I’m rambling!!!

I can’t believe I’m headed out on another month-long jaunt. It’ll be my first tour since baby Albus was born. I’m pretty nervous to be leaving my family like this, but also very excited to see friends in Europe and to get to try out this new format for my shows. I’ll be having a playbill, which will tell everyone what I’m performing and give info about what’s being performed, and I’ll be playing a wide variety from my various interests, giving a cross section of my life as a tree.

This video would not have been possible if not for the amazing assistance of my partner Laura Lee Jones. She made the puppet which comes originally from the tour poster design…

… and she has offered endless help with my bookings and other business work involved in this tour. Thank you Laura…

hugs y’all!

Loop Painting #10 – Series Complete!!!

December 10^th, 2017 seth faergolzia

Hi Everyone, thanks so much for sticking with me through all this time on here. It’s been a meaningful endeavor, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be able to try all kinds of things artistically that I probably wouldn’t be able to without your tremendous support!

Loop Painting #10 is done! I set out to make 10 and now I have. They got bigger and bigger toward the end. This one is 15 feet long! I got to work on it in this really cool space which is springing up called Kaleidoscope Collective here in Rochester. It’s a huge industrial space that is presently being turned into a tea bar and music venue. Arthur Gold allowed me to use his space, he even helped me build the frame for my canvas! My friend Noah Estrella also helped out by shooting video while I ran my camera on automatic stop motion. It was super fun, and all the beautiful reverb on the recording is naturally occurring in the room. It was an easy audio mix! Here are the versions of audio:

Small OR Small (alternate version)

Medium

Large

For the video, just click on the picture at the top of the page.

As always, please give me your comments, put a heart down there if you love it, and spread the word if you can. I need more subscribers!!

The art show is tonight! I’ll try and remember to take pics of all the stuff hanging around the room. It’s looking quite nice!

big hugs,

Seth

Loop Painting #9

December 10^th, 2017 seth faergolzia

I’m most happy about this one. It took a lot of work to get to this level, doing multiple paintings while looping, learning my method for editing and mixing this music and making the video coincide. My new friend Traci Westcott shot the video footage for this one, and I think it looks great! Check out her website. I feel very strongly about this one so will say no more in hopes that you will click the link to watch the video and spread it to all your friends!
