Bowsprit: Rhythm

The music piece, Bowsprit, from the band Balmorhea, is a song that resonates with me at a deep emotional level. I created this piece to illustrate the rhythm, the space, and the texture that the sound creates.

Design Process

In Dan Boyarski’s Time, Motion, and Communication class, we were introduced to much of Norman McLaren’s work on animation and sound. Using this is as inspiration, I began a series of hand drawings until finally, I came up with an animated videosketch of the motion space.
