IF A VISUAL ART PIECE IS TO REPRESENT A PIECE OF MUSIC, IT IS MY PHILOSOPHY THAT THE RHYTHMIC, MELODIC, HARMONIC, AND LYRICAL STRUCTURES SHOULD HOLISTICALLY GUIDE THE ARTISTIC PROCESS OF ITS CREATION. AS SUCH, MY PROCESS BEGINS WITH WHAT I CALL

_FLOW.FORMS

beget THE cycled TRACK as the MUSIC MOVEs through YOU.

voice rhythm becomes stroke length and oscillatory frequency; harmonic relation gives direction, dynamics give pressure and velocity. with each loop, new ideas and relations are explored. shapes emerge. some are discarded, others unfold.

with the third iteration, an idea failed to thrive; turns out, contiguous contours and software that interpolates strokes as bezier curves and vectors quickly exceed my ipad’s compute. physical flowforms may be preferable for future tangents.

after flow is formed, an idea is extrapolated in to

_semantic.value::

a critical dissection of lyrical motion as emotion begets motion.

Get in here
we’ve got a guest
It’s a bird, oh
It’s a bloody mess

It’s a trapped animal
Left for dead
It’s fallen
Through the path it set
Caught it by its neck

Carefully laid to rest
When the years
all coalesce
taste it on your breath
pull it to your chest

Rend it unbearable

Get in here.
Get in here.
Get in here.
Get in here.
Rend it unbearable.

You’re devouring
What is getting let in

GET IN HERE
CAN YOU CATCH IT
by the neck?

the flowform is illustratively refined

i ain’t about to share the raw binary illustration tho lmfao. go buy the single if you want the fullres. ù v ó

_filter.envelope::

to emulate a fovea with stereoscopic chromatic aberration in a layered hierarchy;

duplicate * 6,

symmetrically triangulate radial foci * 3,

THEN, divide THE colours

MAYBE INVERSIONS…

IDK THE PRIMARY IDEA WAS TO EMULATE HOW I SEE CONTRAST IN THE WORLD WITH A FILTER PIPELINE. I FIND MY UNCORRECTED VISION WORTH EXPERIENCING AND SHARING. PERHAPS IT WILL HELP. PERHAPS IT WILL HELP.
