WORKSHOP

Following on from a lecture on Beethoven 13th note, we were set a challenge to use the sheet music as inspiration.

As a photography student looking at sheet music to gain inspiration was not easy i have no background in or around music, so i decided to think of music as a whole.

Music is a personal liking, and each person can interpret music much like art in their own way. Art is also about the physical response you hear many stories around art and how it has physically impacted upon someone. This idea led me to the physical presence of music on the human body. Taking my camera outside and photographed my arm with some goose bumps witch often occurs from music. I wanted to respond to the task keeping my own style of practice presents.

I use photoshop to bitmap the image create small circular details of black and white. The using the frequency and angle to adjust the emphasis on the edit.

Further learning

Within editing colour onto images for Riso printing i learnt what colours to adjust in order to get one tone of selected colour. 'Riso internally creates a stencil that is laid onto a drum filled with ink which then spins at high speed, forcing the ink through the stencil onto the paper. This process creates a unique textured print that cannot be replicated. Unlike digital printing, there's no option to print in standard ink colours like CMYK' (Dribble. 2021.)

RED; YELLOW; BLUE; BLACK;

R=255. R=255. R=0. R=0

G=0. G=0. B=255. B=0

B=0. B=255. G=0. G=0

As you can see up close the image shows the frequency and angle in rounded shapes but once the full image it just gives a grainy effect to the frame, i like the correlation between the visible frequency of the music to the frequency of music.

OUTCOME

This image along with the the other talented students shall be put together in a publication by Sara Nesteruk.
