My original drawing was far too simple. I decided to scrap my first idea and go for something new. I added a city and another island. The lake represents my name and how I am separated from my family but close to my friends.
I believe I did a decent job grasping the concept of this assignment. I feel like all of the different boxes connect the images inside of each other, as it was my goal to make the sounds seem like they’re fluctuating. This assignment helped me to clearly understand stocato and logato, and what they might sound like.
For the first part of this project, I chose the song By Myself by Linkin Park. I would classify the song as having variety, instead of it being monotonous. The song starts out with drums and bass guitars, which are loud, heavy and add intensity to the song. When the verses come on, the drums and bass go away and a light instrumental plays. When the chorus occurs, the drums and bass return, which result in pattern.
The drums and bass sound like they would create thin, wild, and static lines that cover a majority of the page. They will frequently rise and fall. The slower verses will have lines that vary slightly. They are mostly straight and occasionally rise and fall. They also sound like very soft, thick lines.
