“The Pleasant Plucker” Classical Music Impressions

A lover of classical music, I find myself encouraged by instruments created for digital music creation. Specific notes representing emotions, Somber sounds, stringed theory no pun intended. My compassion is moved by simple but moving riddles of inquiry. Sounds that make you think of emotion, while making you take the time to listen, to stop and listen and ask why. To realize how simple sounds can make you calm relaxed in a state of somber. An emotional state of sunken mood. While listening to the sounds after the song. Nothingness!

During Artist and Designer Development Weeks in January 2023, Photographer and Philosopher Matt Colquhoun came to NCAD from the UK to talk about their experiences after graduation and general conversation around surviving after Art School. They give some incredible insight to being a student under Mark Fisher and also generate some interesting conversation around what is expected of us as Creatives living under an oppressive Capitalist system.
