Inquiry: Visualising musical timbres through the movement of abstract shapes, lines, colour and forms.
Context: I'm heavily inspired by visual music animators, painters influenced by music, and graphic notation artists. Some example work:
Directions: Conduct a series of animation tests, focusing on one musical instrument at a time. I'm leaning more towards hand-drawn animation in Toon Boom.
Concept / Outputs: Combine my findings from my experiments into a single music visualisation of a classical music piece, or a series of short classical music clips.
Challenges: I don't have an animation background, and I'm very new to Toon Boom. I anticiapte there will be a lot of learning, mistakes and lessons learnt along the way.
