First Project - Without Words: 14th September 2012
We were placed in groups and instructed to write a piece of music based on a picture.
My group, Group 2, were given this picture:
We each had to write several words that came to mind: I wrote words such as ugly, psychedelic, slow, uncomfortable, unexpected, trippy, atmospheric and nightmare. We then had to pick a word from our lists, write other words that were associated with that one word, then pick a word from that and associate words with that word. I ended up with 'mystical', and this word became the basis for our piece.
We were sent home to think up a piece of music, or a motif that fitted the picture, using the word that we each came up with. I thought of a strange ascending chordal riff to use in our music, and I will contribute the idea when we come back on Tuesday.
