Because this exhibit is really focused on that feeling of home and what it means to grow up in Miami and grow up in this community, I decided it would be really nice to incorporate a lot of songs and music that is familiar to people from my generation growing up on like the early 2000s to like 2010s.
What would it have felt like when you came home from school in elementary, or what would've been playing on the radio when you were in high school?
So I really wanted to focus on that so it feels authentic to home.
My name is Lee.
I go by the artist name Muselle and I'm a professional multigenre and interdisciplinary violinist.
So I am classically trained, but as an artist, as I've grown in postgraduate, I've really branched out into a more eclectic style performance and music.
So the stuff I'll be working on can range from house music to jazz, it can be country, it can be fiddling, it's whatever feels good or is inspiring.
And it's usually collaborative work, because I love learning from other people and that's how I get to discover these new things that are outside of just a classical situation.
I started out in performing arts school from like elementary to high school, and that was very traditional for the most part.
Like there's certain rules of classical music.
You don't improv.
You're not adding things to stuff.
You're doing the repertoire as it's written, and the way it was intended to be played from like 200 years ago.
But what was special was that all of my conductors were band people.
At the core, they were band musicians.
So they still had that little bit of creativity where although we were performing and learning music in a very specific format, they still brought something else that made me curious.
And that's where that curiosity started.
It's consistently changing.
It's consistently evolving.
But definitely in the realm of performance art.
That's something that I really enjoy.
So if you see me around, it's definitely gonna be in this capacity.
Collaborative projects, performance art.
That's really what I enjoy and that's what I love spending my time.
