Wall of Confusion

I'm capable of visual art as well as music. When I'm focused on one, the other is compromised. Nowhere can this be more clear than in my YouTube videos. Once the song is finished, I feel like my work is done. I urgently want to share it, so I grab the first jpeg image that suits it in a half-assed way and that's it. In fairness to myself, some of my favourite videos are like that. I only watch them for the sound. But if I had more time to try to fit the volumes of songs that I've been writing all my life, I would have no shortage of ideas for their visual presentation. I even have an idea for the next one. I could simply illustrate each line of the lyrics and put them on the corresponding frames in the imovie. Then it would be 100% original. And look out, world! For my next composition I was thinking of layering ten heavy metal guitars on a simultaneous E riff. With fourteen basses backing them up. No feedback protection. I call it, 'Blanket of Guitars.' The best way to visualize such a sound, I think, is to start with a detailed image of a herd of dinosaurs. Each video frame need only be a section of the picture, and should vibrate from side to side along with the music. But all the best dinosaur pictures are from Flintstone cartoons. And, well, it upsets me more than it confuses me. That's right.
