From Our Past Into Our Present Future, Michael Fitzgerald Barriteau

Senior Projects Spring 2022

I play the Tenor Saxophone and my experience as a black man is personified through my art. The Art is inspired by my friends, family, life, and the experiences within them. These ideas are then connected through the use of different rhythms, harmonies, and melodies. Thus creating the music that the band and myself activity engage with, in order to use emotions to inform our ideas and decisions to create sonic imagery. As if you were walking or listening to a painting itself.
