Visual Compositions

1/14/2016

Using an image has of course always been a source of inspiration for composers.  This includes simply capturing the "mood" of an image, e.g. a landscape, or more literally to soundpaint from an image, e.g. The Moldau, or maybe a direct, visual translation of image to staff.  My book "Music Paints My Picture", (particularly lessons in Chapter 1 on line and shape) offers several lessons on directly translating images, e.g. buildings, geometric shapes, window alignments, skylines, etc. to staff notation.  See the video below by Karim Metwaly on a direct visual translation to staff notation.  Can you come up with more ideas on direct visual translation to staff notation for your general music classes?
