Artistic Statement

Joshua Cameron

The idea of our invention was to try to show a part of Tony's musical experience and to show his interest in music at the time. Tony's favorite genre of music was folk and thats something that he often found himself listening to. He listened to all types of folk artists, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, John Lennon, and the list continues. He also took time to learn the accordion which is the backbone and main idea of our project. Tony played accordion during his time in high school. He really seemed passionate about music and that was one thing that was truly important to his childhood and adulthood. He had always surrounded himself around music, not playing any sports, music became his main . hobby and something he was always eager to do. So we used this information to make our project.


Hearing the loud soothing sound reminisce from the heart of my accordion as I play along to my favorite artists over the radio. Gently pushing in and out to hear the smooth and flowing sound come from my accordion. Sitting at the edge of my seat, the bottom of my toes touching the floor as my friends and I begin to play one of the most profound genres of music, folk.
