These are some of the forms I came up with in response to my concept. They are all based on the keyboard, and either 52 white notes or 88 black and white notes. I will show in another post how I applied the different muscial eras to these designs.
This image fans out really nicely when it is on the wrist – but as I am working with polypropylene sheet it doesn’t translate well into the thicker material.
This image above is an experiment with iron on interfacing and acetate.
I thought about doing a stack lot of bangles – either 52 or 88.
This idea of holding the translated sheet music pattern with a bangle is something I am currently working on.
This was an experiment with resin and cross stitch sheet, or something of the type from spotlight. The resin fills in the holes – It can create this really interesting positive negative image if there is a sheet underneath. If I work more on this I will get some images up.

I have been home and picked up my keyboard and all the sheet music I am using for my Major 6 project.
So, if time permits, I want to learn the pieces that are the basis for each set of pieces for this semester.
After discussing my ideas with my music teaching mother, I now think I have a better grasp on my own ideas and where they are headed and why. The all important WHY?
I think, but I am not sure – What I am attempting to do is turn sound into a solid. Why? Because I can.

I’ve been looking at ways that I can visually interpret sheet music from my listed posse. This is one I am quite happy with but.. to represent a whole piece of music this way is going to be huge. I’ll work it out though.
I will try and explain this design. What I am hoping to work on is the keyboard. 88 keys need to be fit into each little panel.
In this picture I have looked at a few bars from George Gershwin’s Prelude II. I have the keyboard face with all the keys on it and I have seperated it into how many beats are in each bar in this particular piece of music. Then from the piece of music I place the notes written on the keys that are actually played and the timing in which they are in each bar. I hope that makes sense.
I traced the initially drawing and got this interesting line and point type design. Which again can be related back to a piece of music. What do you think?
This is just an image of the keyboard with the line and point design. Let me know what you think! K.
