ISTD - VISUALISING MUSIC (2016)

Type of book work: Unique / sculptural book-object (one-of-a-kind)
Media: Constructed object and flip book

Artist's / designer's statements

An ISTD (International Society for Typographic Design) brief to use the popular opera Einstein on the Beach to visualise music typographically.

Using the Times New Roman family, which is often used on music sheets, I designed a mechanised flip book with the falling letternames of the music notes in Knee Play 4 of the opera.

The flip book machine allows a visual interpretation of the opera without sound.
