Mosaic Number 1 case with color section, guide and score

Score with color section open

The music in the “Mosaic Series” are formal compositions written in standard notation. Each work employs pulses and repeated phrases that carry through the piece and are combined with other phrases over a harmonic structure that changes key often.

The compositions are performed using multi-track recordings featuring keyboards, synthesizers, and drum programming. All instruments are played by me and recorded in my studio.

This book work is a visual transcription of the composition “Mosaic Number 1.” Every note in the piece is assigned a color. The values are shown below. The pages are divided horizontally into twelve parts symbolizing the twelve eighth notes in each measure.

Each page, except the first, is divided vertically into eight areas symbolizing eight measures in the composition. Each measure is divided into seven horizontal bands, one for each instrument.

The video shows the progression of the composition by displaying the colors of each measure. The entire composition is shown and heard in the video.
