inspired from the favorite artist (visual) thread...

do you think your music sounds like how a visual aritists
art looks? If so, who...

or, is there someone you wish your music could sound like
how it looks?

I dont know if I have one...

but id LIKE if I could make the musical equivilant of
Dali...

I am actually going to do more visualisation of music the
following autumn. I need to get more experience with working
with music/images, and
working with other music than my own (but I haven't done
that yet either) will
be interesting, so I will setup a thread
about it later.

yes, I did alot of art when I was younger... before getting
into music.

at one point, I was convinced I wasgoing to be a comic book
artist... i spent hours on end, trying to draw scenes from
comics, and studying anatomy books

mostly drawing... but did some painting in highschool as
well...

kind of lost my spark for it though... i am interested in
doing 3d computor art... if i didnt have to learn the
program... no time you know?

yeah

ive been a natural analytical drawer since i was very young

i painted daily from when i was 16 til about 21, then music
took over

for me the parallel lies in the way i approach the medias

ill tend to start with a basic element, place another
element on the other side of the canvas, then my brain will
suggest a link between elements, and it all piles up

so basically i start with an abstract foundation, but the
result approaches something more figurative

ive not considered you question in a lot of depth before
though.. who looks like what sound?

it seems like a bit of a strange question to me even, but im
having some suggestions stirring back there :)

Points: 7983 Status: Lurker



painting is always something ive enjoyed doing with music in
the background

ive actually yet to paint to any of the fsked up music i
listen to nowadays heheh

i used to be into well depressing gothic/industrial stuff
when i was last painting, and it doesnt half show :)

i had a splash to boards of canada recently though.. the
result was another one of my imagined landscapes with lots
of suggested and contradicting layers of depth, and a big
fortress lying on a horizon

the velvet underground and brett whiteley (check my links in the other visual art thread)

i see the implication of the thread zeus. watching to one
and listening to the other?

ok so ive taken the question the wrong way :)

im content to sound how i look heh some people think its
horrible but ive only got one theory regarding creativity

if you like what you do personally, then someone else will
:)

i'd like to sound as Georges Braques or Raushcenberg looks.

Points: 7983 Status: Lurker



its probably a bit nonsensical to say that youd like to
sound how someone else looks, cause that will never be
possible. but a deeper implication of the question is that
you would have to Be that person in order to achieve such a
thing

id be miro :) lived til he was 90, and did some utterly
gorgeous work in my opinion. anyone heard about his
sculptures? one of them was placed in the middle of an
isloated italian village. the village itself had few
buildings over 2 or 3 stories high. this sculpture was 10
stories high, and looked like an enormous multicoloured
bowling pin. of course, it represented a person :D

looks

I want to say Pollock I really do but I know that's not true
:(

I want my music to have the same randomness to it though.
I'm working on it.....

im sure everyone has certain imagery that they associate
with their sound, but for anyone to let that be common
knowledge kinda ruins it for everyone else, doesnt it? kinda
like a book being turned into a film

here's a few artists who, while not necessarily an artistic
equivalent to my music per se, are nevertheless quite
inspiring in their art:

banksy

stanley donwood

vanessa beecroft

fucking hell!

i screwed up the links.

so at the rist of sounding too cliche, rattling off
well-established and widely recognized names such as warhol,
lichtenstein, oldenburg, picasso, yadda yadda yadda, why not
something more contemporary?

here we go again:

banksy

stanley donwood

vanessa beecroft

I did 6 songs in association with 6 works by a guy I
know...and I think some of you in this thread actualy heard
them...

So yeah, art and music definitely parallel...

Anyone remember Mussorgsky's "Pictures At An Exhibition"

???
