Race Rockstar
We filmed this late on a Saturday night. Just having some fun with the boys and the Photobooth program on the Mac. Race loves September by EWF for some reason and we had fun making this. Plus Maz got some much deserved Camera Time!!!
Race Rocking Out and having fun at the Mann Music Center this past August this is just a great short less than 10 second clip that shows how much of a Rockstar Race really is 24/7.
This is all from the same show. Race went up on stage too and beat boxed with Biz Marquee. The crowd actually was clapping for him because he matched Biz’s beats perfectly. What a great guy Biz Markee really psyched he was there to open their eyes to even more physically forms of music.
This is Race and Maz putting on a long concert for our friend’s daughter Fionna to say Happy Birthday to her.
This is a great about a 3 minute video of Race singing another one of his Songs - “White Pumas”. Good classic rock and DJ Maz runs through it at one point with a few words. This is also a song they made for Fionna’s Birthday.
This is a super short shot of Race playing on the water in front of the W Hoboken. He was making up his own song and he kept looking at the people walking by hoping they would stay and make a “concert” in the end he just played and played until his fingers hurt because he wasn’t using a pic. Then he played some more. Really nice people at the hotel and Race and Maz had a blast
Race participated in his first music concert tonight at The Tank on West 45th Street in NYC. It was part of a program called Kids and Contact Mics at the ICMC (International Computer Music Conference). Joe Mariglio http://www.joemariglio.com/blog/?cat=41 was the instructor and he was assisted by Ted “Tedb0T” Hayes. Joe and Ted are my new hero’s! According to Joe the concert was a “collective structured improvisation using their hand-made instruments, loosely guided by the instructors”. Leading up to the show Race participated in a series of interactive workshops that Joe and Ted led that established a foundation in a few of the technical and creative aspects of sound-making, compositional strategies and collaborative performance. The class was intended to help Race establish an active role with the everyday technology that pervades his life. “Rudimentary physics and mathematics will be applied to the cooperative craft of composition and improvisation. All workshops will be replete with examples and live demonstrations to provide a launch pad for the students to explore their everyday environment with new tools of discovery, driven by their imagination.” This was such an unbelievable experience for Race and Joe and Ted were so patient and just incredible with him. The other boy in the concert’s name is Amiele he was really great as well. The concert went on for about 30 minutes so I have a ton of footage but I wanted to get this approximately 2.5 minute segment up so you could see how amazing the show was. I will put some additional footage up later. Race was great and we feel so fortunate that he was able to participate in this incredible program.
