Puppet Party!
This post is not so much about how I see music but more about how I found a way to liberate my and my friend's creativity and celebrate it together. As one of my friends wrote to me after the puppet party: "There is something wonderful and liberating about just making things without feeling like there is some standard/expectation of the quality (a problem I sometimes have which prevents me from making as many things as I should)."
The idea is that we bring socks, old clothes and any other crazy material we can use to make simple puppets that will have personality and character. Then we have fun taking photos of them. Making portraits...
The idea came to me after I purchased some "Sock Puppet Portraits - The ultimate gift of Love" from a dude called Marty in NYC.
And here’s how it relates to music: some of Marty's puppets are playing musical instruments and sing. Each one has a myspace page and they all play with Marty in a band called "uncle monsterface- sock puppet rock band," touring and performing their music all around.
So if in the last post I mentioned Listening as a quality for seeing the music, now I can say: with just a little bit of imagination you can create life, music and free yourself to be a carefree creative child again.
Thank you Marty for the inspiration!
