Sound Print Record

There is an ongoing exhibition on campus now being held in the Mechanical Hall Gallery. It is a mix of print, music, and photography. I was lucky to volunteer for the opening weekend events and also got to listen in on the group of panelists who were here. Thay all had interesting things to say. One thing that was said that stood out to me is how a play is both live and imaginary at the same instance. I never thought of this juxtaposition and it is not something we think about readily. The bulk of the conversation centered around time and space and it’s role in music and art. It was mention that everyone talks about the theory of time, but the real challencge is to show it differently than anyone else has.

One of the panelist created graphic scores for different musicians and he talked about how he would make 5 or 6 colors look like 2 and how he would make 2 or 3 colors look lik 5 or 6. An intteresting note I picked up is that a lot of artist go from sound to print, but I’m interested in hearing sound inspired by art, or shapes. That would be cool.
