Sound Art Project

Erik DeLuca of the UVA Music Department in conjunction with The Bridge Progressive Art Initiative have selected two MRC members to create a piece of visual sound art that will be showcased at The Bridge Tuesday September 29.  Please view the project which was created after a one day workshop.  The students used Final Cut and various sound editing software.  The goal is to introduce sound as an art form and explore the various ways common sounds can be interpreted by the ear.  Enjoy!

Current and Former members of the Music Resource Center were chosen for a central Virginia hiphop mixtape compilation.  The mixtape, New Legends of Streetball Vol. II, is being distributed free of charge by Lifeview Films.

The mixtape was created to promote the New Legends of Streetball basketball game September 19 at Monticello Highschool.  Over 50 artists submitted music and only 23 songs were chosen.

Of those 23 songs, there are features by 13 current or former MRC members.  Va Doe, Lee Bangah, Jae Griff, Anonamys, Scheem, Game Plan, Cheno, Bump Brown, Dino, P Giovanni, YG=YungGunna, Yung Thuggin, and J Willz all make appearances on the mixtape!

Congrats to the MRC members who worked so hard to make and distribute their music.  The mixtape will be available free of charge at various outlets all over town.  Pick it up and listen to legacy of MRC hiphop!!
