To produce a 36 minute video entitled "Musical Impressions: The Art Of Hazel Belvo," consisting of Hazel Belvo images and Briand Morrison music. The music is to be inspired by the Hazel Belvo images, composed and recorded in-house at my studio. The art images will be selected and provided by the artist. I will specify the initial visual sequence and will use this for musical composition. The final visual sequence will be approved by the artist. I will then produce the video with the music using video editing software.

Hazel Belvo and I explored her work to determine which set of pieces would work well in a visual sequence. We decided to use to use the "Jazz Series." I scanned the pieces with a high resolution scanner. I created several visual sequences using Video Pro X and choose one. I composed and recorded 6 tunes for 2 guitars against the visual segments. The tunes were mixed and mastered. To finish the entire audio track for a total of 32 minutes I wrote special transitions. I decided to create two versions of the audio. One version is the full regular mix with two guitars for the video as it is to be released as a DVD and the other is intended for performance. The performance mix has just one guitar so I can perform the other guitar live. I imported the audio into the Video Pro X and tweaked the video sequence to fit exactly with the audio. I used this method in creating the George Morrison Impressions video.
