When it came to a spaceship musician I knew it would be a challenge, so I decided to look into representation within media of where these two things meet. Through this I found various different style in which it is represented, for example in Doctor Who: Voyage of the Damned it is in the style of a classical orchestra and set in the style of the classic titanic, so it feels like a cruse liner in space. In contrast the film Guardians of the Galaxy Mixes 70's & 80's music with futuristic spacecraft brought a very unique style to the stage as normal it fit the retro style within media such as Fallout the video game and Alien know for it futuristic yet retro look. For me this has enabled me to see that I can go to different ends of the spectrum with the style of music as it seems to somehow oddly work I feel like this has shown how I could combine elements say like a cruse liner ship with say rock and roll. As long as it fit the style of the character or there context.
I also wanted to look into Spaceship AI's, They consists of a humanoid image in which is the embodiment of the ship controls. I feel this is a way I would like to present the musician as it has been used very frequently in the media, for example Cortana from the Halo series. They way I will present this character it by using certain elements from other concepts. For example Cortana as some form of circuitry running around her body. From this I distilled the idea of having the music waves flow around the characters body thus showing the style of music like the DJ Sona concepts in my mood board. Overall I think this is a really effective way of linking the two genres. I also have set the challenge of making the AI male as there has been limited representation within the media of a gender AI.
