Music Experimentation

For part of the research task, I selected a song that related to my chosen object and created 4 illustrator responses to the music.



The song I chose was - Video Tape by Radiohead this song is rather sombre and brings up topics of death and injustice, already this has allowed me to look at the colour scheme I could use, mainly dark and harsh colours relating to the context of the music.

    

 To begin with I repeatedly listened to the music and took apart the rhythm and beat each instrument created along with the vocals and created sketches that encapsulated the notes, pitches and rhythm.

When developing the work digitally, I took scans which I created that like to the static effect caused when watching VHS and added the scanned in design to the background. Through layers in the colours and the patterns and experimenting with the layer effects the final outcomes all represent the different layers of the song.
