Week 31.
This
week is the start of a five week project, a project within the project,
something I
have been thinking about for a while, but finally triggered by the
Moondog inspired work on week 29. All five visual pieces
will
be bas-reliefs, starting with one form (above). Next week will have two
forms, the week after three, and so on.
The music is similar in that this week I am using only one note (C),
played in different registers all over the double bass. Next week I
will add a second note. Week by week I will echo the artwork
by adding another element or note. I am going to use an open or free improvisational idiom for this music.
I am starting off with a similar simple form to the one I used for week
13, and I am going to try to use colours which I would not usually
think of
using, particularly for a relief sculpture. It is also important to me
that I make sure all five images work together. The same goes for the
music.
I will end up with the fifth artwork using five elements or forms. The
fifth musical piece will feature five notes, how exciting, what fun !!
Well I'm excited.
