Personal – Brian Liu

Premise:

Record myself playing guitar.

Actuality:

It was difficult to get the correct audio and adequate lighting each time I played. The video was recorded on three separate occasions. Though I had recorded multiple monologues, they did not fit with the overall feeling of the piece, but is included below. Overall, I don’t think the monologue was necessary to explain the video.

Monologue mp3 Link soon.

“People always think they have you figured out. They size you up and mentally reason how they would take you, or decide in passing judgment how you scale upon the normality meter – apparently I score remarkably low on this test. While it may be fruitless to sort out every assessment amiss, I by no means am as emotionless as some might claim – I merely keep my socially-unacceptable emoness to strange hours in the night.

So this is my secret spot – I know, I know, it’s a not-so-secret, but after the love-drunk couples have slinked off, it’s actually surprisingly serene, at 3 or 4 in the morning that is. What do I do? I just think and play, but it pretty much keeps me sane in some regards.”
