Micro-music Genre - Initial Ideas

 After my initial research into the house and the non-existent genre of fidget house, I have decided to collect my thoughts in the form of some initial ideas. The initial ideas will allow me to narrow down my further research into the subject and also begin to produce an outcome which best explains the subgenre to an audience which has never heard of it before.

 My first initial idea was to create a pack, within this pack you would have all of the essentials needed in the modern day house environment. At the event you need to be provided with tickets, therefore the tickets could be included in this pack and sent out to the customer. When considering the visual literacy associated with the types of clubs where the music generated i.e. gay clubs, the mind is taking things such as glitter, neons, wigs etc.  therefore the pack could possibly contain these. The pack would have the look similar to that of Frank Ocean's boys don't cry magazine parcel. The reflective holographic nature also represents the kind of club and event environment in which house music is listened to. The pack could also include customised items that would be taken to events such as round glasses which the lenses could be changed to refractor is to enhance the lighting in the situation. Wristbands for the events etc. The holographic and natural reflective nature of this pack is also reflected in the visual language that is associated with house music, as seen in previous research to the gradient and holographic posters.


My second initial idea was based on the idea of the quote that came up when first investigating the origins of fidget house, the quote that stuck in my mind was "a joke between two DJs that went too far". When I think about going to foray also think about the randomisation of the visuals are linked with so-called fidget house artists, the artist produce visuals that don't particularly have anything to do with the song, I don't know if this has something to do with the fact that the genre doesn't particularly exist and they're trying to portray that the audience or whether or not there trying to represent the randomness and mismatched nature of the music. My second idea would continue my investigation into the idea of representing things that don't exist. It would explore the idea of things gone too far, such as jokes, memes, challenges etc.  this exploration could lead to something not to do with music at all. The outcome would, therefore, explain the genre as it wouldn't make sense, just like the genre doesn't make sense because of its lack of existence.
