BRIEF
Investigate and express the essence and spirit of the chosen songs and simply celebrate the emotions that are aroused by great words.
RESPONSE
This is a response to an ISTD brief called 78rpm-mps. My approach was to unveil how music transfigures visually in our creative minds. When we listen to music, sound, thoughts, words and emotions blend in together, while our brains starts exploring a great variety of imagery and motion. I wanted to create something that would stage the spirit of the lyrics of the chosen songs Ain’t Got No/ I Got Life by Nina Simone and Take The Long Way Home by Bloodhound Gang. Where each illustration relates to one of the phrases in the lyrics and characterize the feeling that the song generates. And from there on, it can take any illustrative form. That, I think is one of the beauties of art – in music.
