My background as both a classically trained pianist and an industrial engineer informs my Cantograph series, in which I assign colors, shapes and other graphic elements to each half-tone on the musical scale to create visual representations of songs. The work is partly aleatoric, that is, driven by these initial assignments; variability is enhanced with the selective manipulation of grid size, image duplication, choice of song fragment, inclusion of harmonies (or not), and other attributes, but each piece retains a “map” of the song such that the correspondence between artwork and notes can be observed.
