Multimedia is cool, everyone’s doin’ it.

I have a website called The Sphere of DJ Truby. I created this website with the intention of displaying personal information about me. It ranges from personal projects to thoughts about politics. It includes random things I find online to work I have completed in school and explanations about interesting topics. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to organize all of my files so I do not have the projects section fully completed. For the purpose of my Web Fluency class, I must professionally inform you of my work at IPR oriented toward musical multimedia content. Low and behold, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening half completed!
One of my favorite video games of all time is the one that came on the Gameboy Pocket, which is in black and white, about a fantasy world and teenage boy. He is a Hylian who winds up on an island with no sense of where he is. He meets a girl who seems to have a serious connection with the island and can feel the positive energy. The climax of the game takes Link, the Hylian, to a mountain called Mt. Tamarach. The situation at the mountain is very intense and a result has very invoking music. I chose to make a techno remix of it which unfortunately is only half completed. Nevertheless, please listen to this track. I love hearing it over and over even though it isn’t done. That’s how awesome I think it is.
There was also an assignment we had to do that required us to make a biography of a producer. We were each given a producer to write about and then turn that report into some sort of multimedia project. I chose to make a video for the sake of redundancy and paradoxical creativeness.
Since I could not find a lot of relevant videos on Phil Ramone, I had to make do with as many pictures as I could find. I finally decided that my goal would be to make the transitions between the pictures as creative and original as possible. It’s possible that I did a poor job, but I like my final result a lot.
Finally, I would like to share with you another track I made. This comes from another Zelda game called The Legend of Zelda; Ocarina of Time. It is a remade version of the Requiem of Spirit and actually does not have the same feel as the original. The introduction is the same, but it progresses into a punk-type scene. Go ahead and listen to it.
That’s a very cool idea, I am going to check it out.
