Build and Destroy, Destroy and Build

Brutalist Architecture

Concrete poetry, pattern poetry or shape poetry is poetry in which the typographical arrangement of words is as important in conveying the intended effect as the conventional elements of the poem, such as meaning of words, rhythm, rhyme and so on.

It is sometimes referred to as visual poetry; a term that has evolved to have distinct meaning of its own, because the words themselves form a pictures. Using this method, I will create postcards representing the Brutalist Architecture from the 1950 through to the 70's. The buildings where created mainly using concrete which is on of the reasons I have decided to mimic the style of concrete poetry to represent the buildings typographically. The other reason is the fact that concrete poetry was coined around the 1950's, when the Brutalist Design was also emerging.

7 notes 7 colors

Here's the beginning of the project "Klang".

Klang is one of the many typefaces in the letterpress den.

Klang (german word for sound) seemed at first glance a not very playfull type to work with, actually I still not like it, but what came out of it... well that's a different history.

Basing the research on sound I found a theory which explains that measuring the wavelength of colour you can produce a frequency which will give you a sound, so every note, has a colour!
Also while researching about the word Klang I found out about a musical technique developed by the composer painter and poet Arnold Schoenberg named "klangfarbenmelody" (sound-color-melody). This musical technique involves breaking up a melody out from one instrument to between several intruments adding greater colour and texture to a melodic line. And I thought what if we do that with color on the lyrics of a song?
And that's what happened with my first attempt. The song: "over the rainbow" (cheese i know).
However that's a project in early stages and we have plenty of new ideas to play with... Let's hope for the best!

Converting an image into sound /Pixles have a sound value

Just experimenting with sound... I used one of the block print images for this audio experiment... As the image i chose did not have much colour the sounds that have been produce are quite repetative. If i was to use an image with more variation in colour, i would get more variation in the sounds produced. Each pixle has a sound value and pitch. Just an idea... 

Experimenting with sound

I really love the begining of the first sound when the ink is being applyed to the roller.
