Music Concrete
Friday morning and yahoo the traffic is light. Headed north through downtown Seattle, coming up on Madison St, and headed for the Eastlake neighborhood.
I love the patchwork of grids the buildings create. It reminds me of music. When I was at Soundwork Studio on Capitol Hill, and the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College in Oakland, California, I wrote and performed several electronic, tape, and computer music pieces based on number squares, fractals, golden section, and Fibonacci sequences. The music scores looked similar.
In the tradition of Music Concrete, I loved mixing found sound (sounds of nature and the city) with synthesizers and traditional instruments.
