Creative Control http://blogs.haverford.edu/creativecontrol Sponsored by the Student Arts Fund Mon, 31 May 2010 15:08:39 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 Allow me to…Explain :) http://blogs.haverford.edu/creativecontrol/2010/05/31/allow-me-to-explain/ http://blogs.haverford.edu/creativecontrol/2010/05/31/allow-me-to-explain/#comments Mon, 31 May 2010 15:08:39 +0000 Howard Brown http://blogs.haverford.edu/blogs/creativecontrol/?p=97 Even though we’re only a couple of weeks into the Summer, I have been pretty busy. I started an independent record label named Dorm Room 313, so I can capitalize off of all my ventures…whether it be writing songs or making them.

Since I loved the Creative Control process and project so much, I figured I might as well keep doing it but this time on my own. So, I signed myself.

I created a venture between myself and two other producers, The Draft Picks, whom will be helping me with production from here on out. Thus, Gabriel Stark was born.

I know there’s been a lot of confusion. A lot of, “whose Gabriel Stark?” or “what is it?”. Long story short, GABRIEL STARK IS ME!!!

After being influenced by other bi-co music success stories like Post Post, I figured I might as well give this music thing a shot too. Therefore, even though Gabriel Stark is NOT Haver-related (in the Creative Control sense), you guys should still support the movement. It’ll be more me and less a capella. But on the bright side, I WILL be doing a follow up to Creative Control this year.

SOOOOOO….

All new Gabriel Stark music will be released on either my myspace page (myspace.com/gabrielstark) or my facebook. Definitely join both!!! and All Creative Control type stuff will be on here!!!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

It was definitely a fun one that allowed for me to learn new things about myself and the talents of my peers.

Numbers wise, we got thousands of hits to the blog after the release and it was a HUGE success, so

THANKS!!!!!

Luckily, after the ending of Creative Control, I continued to record. I recorded 8 more tracks. Some of which are songs that didn’t make the project, for one reason or another, and some were just new songs that I wanted to get out to the world.

Since I didn’t produce this one by myself, I decided to go with a different name and kind of give everything a new look, feel, and sound.

Therefore…

The new project is called THROUGH THE CLOUDS by Gabriel Stark (which consists of me and my production team, The Draft Picks)

Long story short: I will be releasing music all Summer and releasing the project at the end of August, when school starts!!!!

So stay tuned!!!!

You can get the tracks here or at myspace.com/gabrielstark

And if you do twitter, it’s twitter.com/starky5950

FOLLOW ALL OF IT!!!!!

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!!!!

Our last video in this long journey of Creative Control.

Here’s your look at the new direction I took Lonely in since the last video.

Definitely gotta thank Cam for giving us the autotune idea and helping us work out the melody, even though this is still not the FINAL version.

THEREFORE, STAY TUNED!!!!

CREATIVE CONTROL drops TODAY at 5 PM…RIGHT HERE

We went through so many different ideas. In this video, Kate came up with the idea of writing a song about being Lonely. Since it was completely different than my initial idea, I had to re-write my verses on the spot.

STAY TUNED FOR TOMORROW’S VIDEO!!!!

1 MORE DAY TILL THE RELEASE!!!!

It came from Fairleigh Barnes ’13. She was so left field with the idea that it was just right for what I wanted.

It’s so different and abstract. I didn’t even want to put words on it.

Music is still art. Creative Control is my art project. What better way to compliment the art than with more art.
