“Minor Voltage” @JeffaCubed + NokiaN8

The first of two original @JeffaCubed Music + Story + Video songs that I’ll be releasing, each produced exclusively on a NokiaN8 smart-device.

Minor Voltage = a newer song that I’ve been working on, debuting here on YouTube as a Music + Story + Video (MSV). All images (with the exception of the first + last shot of me…) were taken + edited exclusively by me on a NokiaN8 device. This NokiaN8 version of “Minor Voltage” was audio-recorded (x1 pass audio-take .: no filters/post-processing) + image-edited + video-mixed exclusively on the creative + powerful “prosumer grade” NokiaN8 smart-device, that the kind folks at @Nokia_Connects (thx Paul via London, UK) have made available to me for a few weeks of extensive testing, to be followed up by a thorough & impartial @JeffaCubed review. I was also thrilled that my @BlueMicrophones (USB Snowball microphone) was instantly recognized as a audio-recordable “headset” by the NokiaN8! The concept + lyrics of this Jeffa ∆ Cubed song are inspired by x3 individuals, now all deceased, whose work + contributions to the world I find inspiring.

1. Walt Whitman – particularly his poem “I Sing the Body Electric“

2. Nikola Tesla – in part for his amazing contributions in the field of “electricity“, which helped to user in the Second Industrial Revolution

3. Steve Jobs – for the incalculable number of innovations + contributions that he seeded throughout our evolving-digital-ecosystems or “dicosystems” for short

I’ll also be submitting this original works as part of my application-entry-piece, to attend (and/or perhaps “touch-wood” .: perform this song live…) @TEDxVancouver this year, being hosted at the UBC Chan Centre on November 12th, 2011.

Here are the lyrics & please stay tuned:

Time & space x you

Minor voltage, minor voltage

Re-create, your space

Minor voltage, minor voltage

And I’m, in love, with you

Your minor voltage, your minor voltage

My lens, dissolves, your lies

Minor voltage, minor voltage

And we’ve, had enough, of your lies

We’re minor voltage, we’re minor voltage

So time, & space & you

We’re minor voltage, we’re minor voltage

Re-create, your space

Minor voltage, minor voltage

You started, all this, then you had to leave

Minor voltage, minor voltage

And that’s, all I’ve got, for now

Minor voltage, minor voltage…
