In this collection I wanted to dive deep into exploring how music influences my creative process.
I have always been inspired by music but over the years as I began to accumulate a “language” in my work and particular key elements in my smithing toolbox, I was freed up to receive designs in a blink of an eye when triggered.
So this was an experiment in seeing what music created the most impact on my designs. In other words what created what.
I discovered I am effected in three ways.
-
1. Mildly. Like a mood change that makes me feel a certain way that helps move a design along.
-
2. Influenced. This is an evolution of a design through a piece of music. The design may change and grow as I listen.
-
3. Direct trigger. This is the closest to the synesthetic experience. While listening to a piece of music there may be a particular chord progression or combination of instruments that creates a visual flash of a fully completed design.
