My channel consists of what I like to think of as "Baroque Music Videos." By combining art and music, I try to create a new art form that will hopefully enhance the listener's experience of the music.
There is often an educational/didactic component to my videos, from the content of the videos themselves to a wealth of information (including links) about the music, the composer, and the performers that you will find in the video description. These often include links to the CDs for purchasing and sometimes links for further research. Information about the artists whose work is featured can also be found here.
I use iMovie on a Mac to create my videos. I had no prior experience with this software, so I was literally learning the program as I made these. Actually, I'm continually learning more about what I can and cannot do with iMovie. I use GIMP to create some of the images I use.
