SOUNDCLOUD - Complete composition

Transcriptions is a subset of the Wordless – Painted and Drawn Narratives series.

Beats and Solos 10/2023 is a visual transcription of a composition, composed and recorded in October 2023, featuring music created like a DJ performance with jazz inspired solos on saxophones and electronic wind instrument.
Each 3.5" x 3.5" page represents 8 measures of music. The visual works are literal transcriptions of the music. The color panels on the front convey the mood created by the music, and are accurate in horizontal distance to the tempo. The reverse side of the panels illustrate the programmed rhythm sections in music notation.
The video contains the complete composition and all of the drawings.
