Graphic Notation: LUCID
LUCID was a cross disciplinary project which I've done in college where I work with a student from music major to form a graphic notation of his music named Lucid, where I develop various visual components to present the audio in graphical form.
It was challenge to translate what I’ve had listened into graphical forms, as one slight alteration would change the entire feel; which brings me constant refining of the shapes from geometrical to organic back and forth. As tense as the song is, I’ve also made a feel breaks to the flow, but when you look closer it’s quite suffocating and congested. I chose an abstract approach due to the nature of the song, but i still wanted to keep a feel repeating elements such as the black spiky elements to symbolize the darkness of the void, and constant rotation of clouds to picture a catastrophic situation.
