Today instead of “See and Respond” your challenge is to “Hear and Respond.” Check out this series by Jason Moran for inspiration.
Jason Moran
Pianist and jazz composer, Jason Moran is interested in the cultural and political history of African American music. You can listen to a 7 minute piano piece here. Recently, his musical expressions have spilled into the visual arts.
To make these drawings he “fixed rolls of Japanese Gampi paper to piano keys, coated his fingers with various pigments, and played, sometimes improvising and sometimes reciting familiar tunes. Moran sees these works as ‘residues of a performance’ or even as another type of recording. They embody the power of sound that stems from black musical traditions.” – Luhring Augustine and Jason Moran
For the creative challenge today, if you play an instrument, find a way to use the instrument to make marks related to a piece of music. If you do not play, and if you do not have instruments around you, listen and respond to a piece of music.
When you’ve finished, please post your artwork. Tell us about the music that inspired you, and how you made your piece. Tag us so we can find your work: #30sal
