From Cornell artists Mark Pearson (mtp32)
I am a student in the art department and am working on a project that is investigating the interconnections between visual art and music, specifically visual representations of music.
The first part of the project involved creating a graphical system for transcribing music and then making a drawing that transcribed a specific piece.
To continue with the project, I would like to find some musicians who would be willing to use my drawing as a score, and who would reinterpret the piece without any knowledge of what song it actually is or how it originally sounds. The reason for doing this is to see how different the final piece would turn out when being interpreted by musicians who will have specific directions, but not ones that they are familiar with, such as standard notation.
I am attaching a file to this that is a scanned image of the drawing so you can have a better idea of what I'm talking about. Please e-mail me back if you find this idea interesting in order to discuss more specific ideas and logistics.
