For a second year we have commissioned artist Matthew Wigdahl to create a motion graphic for this project. This year Matt collaborated with composer Andrew Boysen Jr. to create a video that can be played during the performance of the music. Additionally, this video has been created so that it can be played using just the "Center" video below or a combination of all three in order to get a more expansive effect. The concept, as Matt explains in the video interview, was to potentially project these videos onto the concert shells behind the ensemble. Enjoy the videos and explore your own way of incorporating them into your work with this project.
