Another trip to the beach, just in time to take a few more photos of the sky at dusk. Today is my last at home, for a while, as we’ll be leaving for Chiswick at 9:30am tomorrow.
A walk in the woods last week, with my sister’s little boy. He’s an explorer.

A Microscore for solo violin.

The famous dead trees that litter the stretch of Suffolk coastline between Benacre and Covehithe make for some stunning photography. I enjoyed our walk along the beach the other day. It was so strange/sad to think that if I return to this area in a few years’ time, these trees won’t be here. Neither will them cliffs, or half of the beach, for that matter.

Still creating business card designs using graphical excerpts of my notation. I’m going to print them all on white card, then bind them into a little folder and get some opinions.

Recordings of my graphical works composed throughout my MA can now be found and downloaded on SoundCloud.
I will create an audio post through here occasionally, eventually creating a /works page with all recordings and links to scores, performer websites, etc. Keep an eye out!
“Noteput” is an interactive music table with tangible notes, that combines all three senses of hearing, sight and touch to make learning the classical notation of music for children and pupils more easy and interesting.
The Visual Music by KumbeeChoi - an interesting typography/design project, creating a graphical interpretation of New Born by Muse.
“I interpreted the music piece into visual combined with type. Different instruments in the music were analyzed and became visible elements…”
Bernard Tschumi - Fireworks at Parc de la Villette Paris, 1992
“The fireworks at Parc de la Villette in Paris in 1992 expanded an earlier-developed theme of fireworks as an architectural manifesto. The fireworks display, which lasted half an hour, took place on June 20, 1992, and was witnessed by more than 100,000 people. The display became a three-dimensional and fleeting version of the organizational principle of the park: namely, the superimposition of systems of points, lines, and surfaces.
… A system of notation (like a partition) defines the event in space and time.”
I do love the graphic work of designer Fabien Barral. Also, my previous post about this project shows the architecture and exterior design of the conservatoire.
