Images as Sound and Compositional Devices

 The photo series known as Bike Rack Dromology (found at: http:// anthonystephenson.org/art/bike_rack_dromology/bike_rack_dromology.html) has been utilized here in a new compositional manner. Looking at the series as a sort of musical score, the image files were first converted to sound files – the results, of course, were very abstract and atonal. They were then brought into a digital-audio-workstation where the pitches were edited to conform to the shapes seen in each of the photographs. Various audio processing was added to add interest and rhythm. While the atonality still remains, arrangements were made in various musical styles familiar to avant garde experimentation such as classical (2), IDM (3), rock (5) and jazz (6).
