 | 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 :)

 | 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

 | 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
