Inspired by: 16 & 20 by Abbas Akhavan
Artist Statement:
I was inspired to create a musical representation of Abbas Akhavan’s painting process - I imagined the descending sine-wave and vocal melodies to represent streams of ink slowly dripping down the canvas, growing in density over time, and eventually creating a deep grey pool near the bottom of the image. I enjoyed creating with a similar freedom described by Akhavan - I recorded some sounds, but ultimately let the instrument (synthesizer and effects pedals) decide where it wanted to go while gently guiding it along the way.
