For Thursday, February 17th

  • Create a typographic translation of the sounds in your piece—translating your favorite rough marker sketch into InDesign. You may want to try a couple different typographic variations to see which fits your piece best. Bring printouts of your score to class for discussion. Start at 17” wide x 11” tall, but feel free to make it wider or taller as necessary.

Some things to keep in mind as you are working:
Does the music have a strong beat?
Is the selection smoothly flowing, or is it choppy or syncopated?
Is it harmonious or dissonant?
How many different instruments can you hear distinctly?
Does a shift or major change occur within your selection?
