Metal music is chaos. It is organized but still chaos. I took all of the metal bands from my music library and linked them to their appropriate sub-genre(s). I wanted to display my personal interest in music that may seem alien to others. The music is very hectic and often layered and composed in such a way that it is impossible to hear everything in a single listen. I wanted my project to reflect the tendencies my music follows.
The general process for creation was to split circles to make the connections in order to display a uniform line size and shape. The idea behind everything was to cause extreme confusion and overlap and force the viewer to focus much like how I have to focus when listening to music. Everything was done from scratch in illustrator.
I went straight home and was like ZACH LOOK AT GAGE'S PROJECT. That's how much it knocked my socks off.
ReplyDeleteGreat experimentation with Adobe Illustrator! This is an intriguing visualization of your collection of metal music. I enjoy that the piece is compelling enough to attract a viewer but does not immediately reveal its process on the visual level.
