MUSIC GRAFFITI
“DON’T YOU WONDER SOMETIMES…ABOUT SOUND AND VISION?”
'Sound & Vision' - David BOWIE
ORIGINAL MUSIC ART PAINTINGS
MUSIC GRAFFITI
MUSIC GRAFFITI is a series of original physical paintings exploring phase space transformations between Sound & Vision
Each painting represents the interpretation of a musical idea or thought into a visual concept.
STREET LIFE
SOUND & VISION
The single large black music note is inspired by the stencil culture associated with first wave street art aesthetics.
Equally, it acts functionally as an identifier and visual key to the concept.
TEXTURED SONIC CANVAS
ARCHITECTURAL CANVAS
The MUSIC GRAFFITI paintings feature textured three dimensional ‘architectural’ surfaces.
These tactile background surfaces replicate and substitute for the physical ‘wall canvas’ that is typically associated with graffiti / street art.
The degree of texturisation varies across individual paintings and series of paintings ranging from a light rendered effect to a rougher ‘Béton Brut’ style. The latter draws heavily on the influence of the ‘pilotti’ of Le Corbusier at ‘Unité d'habitation’ in Marseille.
OCTAVE DOUBLING
12 NOTES / 24 KEYS
The naming convention for each individual painting is one of the 24 (standard western) musical keys, plus a number. For example, ‘D Minor III’ is the third MUSIC GRAFFITI painting in the key of D Minor.
The key for each painting is selected by scanning the background pattern through a combination of visual synthesizers, and selecting the key that produces a sound that best complements the visual effect. Essentially, the paintings produce their own ‘music’ and the choice of key is then determined by the sound produced.

TEXTURED PRINTS
HIGH FIDELITY
Texture is a key component of the original paintings. The layers of paint and architectural / masonry elements produces a tactile three dimensional surface that adds a further layer to the visual sonic schema. The use of giclée methodology and textured fine art paper produces a depth to the printed image that emulates the originals.
As with the original paintings, the prints can be activated in augmented reality to display an accompanying digital audiovisual artwork - see more info below.

FEEDBACK LOOPS | BEYOND THE PHYSICAL
SCREAM IF YOU WANT TO GO FASTER !
The physical MUSIC GRAFFITI paintings are the ‘genesis node’ within a long-term creative process called FEEDBACK LOOPS.
The artistic premise behind the FEEDBACK LOOPS project is to start with a single visual symbol of music/sound - the MUSIC GRAFFITI paintings - and then to explore a sequence of recursive phase space transformations between the sensory spaces of Sound & Vision, Music & Art and physical/digital forms.
Iterations n this process have resulted in the GLITCH BREAKS variations - a series of visual remixes of the original painting images into both MP4 video artworks and physical art prints available in the HYPERMARKET.
Explore the 'FEEDBACK LOOPS Variations'.
(If you just want to appreciate the physical paintings and prints, then stay here....there be dragons there...)
