in

Charles sent Davis this prompt:

"Today’s challenge:

 

Choose a song that is 20-60 seconds in length.

 

Do facography (choreography of the face) to the song.

 

Record it. Post it."

 

Here are the results!

 

Davis chose the "Interlude" from Ben Folds' 1997 project Fear of Pop:

Today's challenge: Choose a song that is 20-60 seconds in length. Do facography (choreography of the face) to the song. Record it. Post it.

Charles chose "Pig," the closing track from The Books' 2006 record Music for a French Elevator and Other Oddities:

Facography- n.- choreographed physical exclusively of the face

Weekend Challenge 2 of the Year Apart (and Sometimes Not)

Weekend Challenge #2:

We were both quite busy this weekend, but we didn't let that stop the flow of creativity! We decided to learn a cover and perform it.

Simple as that.

Davis covered "I Will" by the Beatles from The White Album:

Weekend Challenge #2: Cover a song that you would want to perform live.

Charles covered "I'm Getting Ready" by Michael Kiwanuka from Home Again:

Day 4 of the Year Apart (and Sometimes Not) - FRESH FRIDAYS

in ,

It's Day 4, January 4th 2018, and the creativity continues.

It's our first Fresh Fridays, a new weekly series inspired by Davis' suggestion:

"Day 4: You Must Hear This

Make a 3-5min video “review” of an album, song, artist, podcast, exotic musical instrument, or cosmic vibration that you don’t think I’ve heard yet but should."

We each did so and have decided to release a similar video each Friday hereto-forth.

Here are the results:

Day 2 of the Year Apart (and Sometimes Not)

in

It's Day 2, January 2nd 2018, and the creativity continues.

The first day's challenge had taken Davis 2.5 hours and he was hesitant to continue daily.

Charles encouraged Davis that it was all worth it:

"We gotta try and do something daily. I know it seems like a lot but if we want to make it our lives, we gotta carve out a little time of our lives each day and let it grow.

It can be simple. Like a haiku using the word 'sponge'

That’s today’s challenge

A haiku using the word 'sponge'"

Here are the results:

 

Davis

Though you scrub the grime

That's clung to my plates and bowls

You smell, so farewell.

 

Charles

She Pleads Out of rage

“No!” and the Girl’s father knew

she absorbed Each word

Day 1 of the Year Apart (and Sometimes Not)

in

It's Day 1, January 1st 2018, and the creativity challenge begins.

Charles began with a (seemingly) simple proposal:

"Today’s challenge: make a 10-30 second stop-motion video.

I will be doing the same. 

You have until midnight."

Here are the results:
