Inspiration Through Music

Written By Alex Muccino

About three years ago my friends and I started a cover band called Saving Escape, we started by practicing in a small basement with nothing but an electronic drum kit and a couple of acoustic guitars. We took every gig opportunity we could get, anywhere from playing our friend's backyard house parties, to being the background music for small events in our hometown. We spent the first year trying to find our sound, what we wanted to be. We started off playing really... really bad green day covers, and really anything to hit the top 100's on Kiss 107.

As the years went on and our experience of playing new venues expanded we found the artists that gave us our inspiration, Jimi Hendrix, The Black Keys, The Beatles, etc... these artists don't even start to scratch the surface of the broad range of musicians that keep us inspired every day.

Now I am proud to say that Saving Escape has played my dream venue (Bogart's) three times now and we are currently in Sonic Lounge Studios in Columbus recording on our first studio E.P. Now a days there is little to nothing that inspires me as much as playing music every day, and somehow every sort of art or visual design ties back to being in a band.

Here's a video of us playing a cover of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes in 2016:

Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways.... The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
