COMPOSER SABRINA PENA YOUNG | MUSIC TECHNOLOGY | FILM | CLASSICAL | OPERA

An original experimental animated film , a student film, created around 2006. Using a combination of Final Cut and Bryce, I developed a stark alien landscape and a quiet being being terrorized by a bizarre creature that I lovingly referred to as the "eyeball monster".  This was a student film first created while doing graduate studies in film and new media at Florida International University in Miami, Florida . The soundtrack was originally written for another of my experimental films , but I found that the music matched these visuals quite nicely, so I cannibalized my soundtrack and used it for this film.

Call for scores for new Fluxus-style workbook Vengeful-WI by Sabrina Pena Young Web site:  http://www.ofmusikverlag.com/ submissions.html To launch Ochsenfrosch Musikverlag we’re asking composers to submit short fluxus-style scores to form a workbook for performance. Styled on the idea of the original Fluxus Workbook it is hoped that the new set will be as eclectic, humorous and thought-provoking as the original.

Bed-In_for_Peace,_Amsterdam_1969 During the 1960s and 1970s, experimental musicians, poets, writers, and artists discovered a new art movement: The Fluxus Movement. Nude performances, television cellos, and silent compositions became the norm of an anything but normal movement.  The Fluxus movement of the 1960s and 1070s seemed to mirror America's societal insanity by the creation of experimental art pieces which stretched the limits of art and decency. The Fluxus crew was an unlikely mix of filmmakers, poets, writers, musicians, performance artists, and actors who joined together to create a neo-Dadaist movement intent on its own destruction through anti-art and severely anti-establishment art. I participated in a Fluxus Day Celebration with Allison Knowles and Larry Miller in Miami.  My poor boyfriend had to help push the piano. He thought we were nuts. Among the Fluxus artist was the controversial composer and philosopher John Cage , who had composed the w...
