Aphera Music

Hopkins provides us with one gift, and it’s called intersession – the time between winter break and the start of the semester that occupies most of January. It is a period during which we have time to do everything and anything we want and for most of us, that is doing absolutely nothing.

However, for the more ambitious, intersession gives us time to create masterpieces like what you will find below. A video, made ‘with a lot of construction paper and a guitar.’ The creator, a particularly brainy Hopkins student, admitted that he ‘needed something else to do’ during his free time. Although, in the interview below, he doesn’t consider himself an artist or guitarist, I sure do hope that we see some more creations from him in the future before he goes off to med school. Because I’m pretty sure they don’t grant you anything like intersession there…

When asked what he’d like to tell us about the video, he wrote…

‘First, I am not an artist or guitarist just a hack. I made this video during winter break from college because I needed something else to do. I was playing too much guitar and wanted to give my hands a break-I thought I was getting carpal tunnel.  I usually play classical guitar, but onlyhave my acoustic at home and came up with this little riff while messing around playing John Denver and Grateful Dead tunes.  The dog that crashes the party is a miniature dachshund puppy named Luigi (Wuigi)!’
