I use the Graphic(Music) Notation as my reference to work on this exercise. It helps me to understand a new way to represent the sound with the visual symbols. It likes an abstractive expression and makes music more visual. In this way, it becomes one of the main references for my studio project. In my studio, I want to use visual symbols to express the rhythm and emotion of the music. I attached the two examples of Graphic Notation.

Response：

I did an interview with classmates in aim to find out people's feeling when they listening to different music. In this interview, they were required to draw a simple picture depends on the first feeling of the music they heared. The reason why I wanted to do this is because I thought different people have different feelings and experiences of sound. I wanted them to do a quick drawing becasue I wanted to find out people's instinct feeling of the music. When listening to a music or enjoy the background music of a film, most of time we will subconsciously have ourown feeling of that. This is what I want to research. After interview, I got several results of classmates, then I analysised and summaried these results. Interestingly, I found out that most of them like to use simple polygons to express, such as circle, triangle and rhombus. It guided me to choose polygons as main elements to combine music into my project.
