title: peaches in a tin can
Medium: Electronic music, digital and traditional animation, video editing
Description: While falling asleep on the train one evening I composed a track on garage band that I thought was cool but didn’t know what to do with it.
A few days later I played it back to Maya over and over in our living room while I worked on it, and after some excitement at the promise she’d bring me some tinned peaches back from Lidl, we sang it over and over- ‘peaches in a tin can’. Maya started to add the lyrics about the priest which we kept because it was funny and I recorded the vocals on the floor using my apple headphones and a 14 year old vocoder app. And there it was.
Some time later, we decided it would be a wonderful submission to this exhibition and began what should have been a months worth of work with about two weeks.
Despite all the odds working against us- IPads with dangerously low storage that were crashing constantly, a light box on its last legs, me going through a crippling bought of psychogenic fever, viral infection and the two of us hit with ‘the curse of the womb’, relying on screen recording everything, and then learning the news of my childhood dog passing away- we still prevailed.
Limitations force you to think more creatively, and if anything, the creation of ‘Peaches In A Tin Can’ is evidence that you can make anything you want with whatever you have if you have the passion and the drive.
We will bring disco back, even if we’re fighting tooth and nail!
bio
Maya Meadows
I’m a multi media artist and maker. I love exploring either the other world, its hidden elements and wonders aligning with philosophical interests of OOO (object oriented ontology) and transhumanisum.
Currently I am focused on taking back what counts as “arts” in defiance of edjucational pressures to be “professional”, Identity within the arts are constrictive and bias. Why can’t I just make for my own enjoyment?
Eve Butler
I am an artist and musician. I experiment with many different mediums and tools to transmit strange thoughts and visions into this plane of existence. I push buttons on my electric organ and heavily distort my art because it’s what I like to do. I want to bring back disco and make people happy. The focus of most of my work is capturing deep feelings of wonderment and otherworldliness, but also just to cut loose and have fun and remind people that nothing is really that serious in the end.
