Blue Man Group.
Although Blue Man Group is not based purely on rhythms, I was still influenced by this group, when I was composing my piece.
“Blue Man Group” is known for the theatrical shows and concerts which combine music, comedy and multimedia to produce a totally unique form of entertainment.”
One of Blue Man Group's original music, “Audio”, was nominated for a Grammy.
They have performed on many American television shows such as “The Tonight Show”, “Ellen”, “Regis & Kelly”, “Scrubs” and “Arrested Development”.
As well as performing, they have many family-focused educational projects, including a touring Children's Museum exhibit, “Making Waves”
However, although the company is rapidly expanding, they still “remain true to its vision of providing exciting experiences in a variety of media, appealing to a broad range of age groups and cultural backgrounds.” Again, I thought this emphasised the importance of music in people’s lives, which is also why this was a big influence in my composition.
The Blue Man Group use every-day objects/ general household objects, to create their music. This was the main reason I watched this group. As I have been so classically trained, trying to create music with something other than instruments, was unimaginable. I had real difficulty coming up with any ideas for this. However, I then realised, after watching both Stomp and Blue Man Group, that it wasn't actually that difficult
