It took some enabling technology to get the project going; thanks to Zoom and PowerPoint, we were ready to roll!
The execution of the project took few working sessions. We all listened to four short music tracks (eyes closed) over Zoom and each one of us picked two dominant evoked colors from the same web based RGB color wheel.
We then listened to the same music tracks (eyes closed) again while drawing the ‘rhythm’ shapes in PowerPoint; this is like ‘conducting’ using mouse instead of a wand – hand and body sways driven by music rhytm, pace and melody. Then, each artist annotated drawings with RGB color codes of evoked colors.
The first step was that simple!
The more tedious, but immensely enjoyable work was the ‘artistic intervention’ – coloring the shapes with selected colors and assembling them all into a visual representations (individual and collective) of different music tracks.
Our Artistic Hypothesis was that..
The combined individual music representations will be dominated by distinct shapes and colors creating a unique visual impact for each music score.
We created 44 individual images and four combined images, one for each music piece.
Below is an example of the colored drawing created during the practice run.
