Today’s drawing is The Man in the Iron Mask which I’ve been meaning to add my 2011 reading, along with an entire bookshelf of P.G. Woodhouse, some more Jonathan Lathm, Irving Stone’s The Agony and the Ecstasy: the biographical novel of Michelagelo, and all the other biographies waiting as well. This is my life now. 201o may have checked me out, but I’m officially checking myself back in. And here is a song for this today:

Thanks! Will do!

My interests are in visualizing the physics of music, musicality itself, composers thought processes and what orchestration looks like, the physicality of performance, sounds, essentially, all things musically related. My art is more about the integral thought processes and physical nuances that unique musical performance and authorship, brings. My visual music it meant to expand peoples ideas about art and music experience. Visualizing conceptual considerations of music has always been a preoccupation of mine. I spent my youth at the foot of my mother's piano jumping around, trying to catch all the colors that would emerge from the air, as she played her favorite pieces. I didn't realize until much later that I have synesthesia. I see color and feel touch when I hear sounds, especially musical ones. One of the many joys of having a public studio is the rare chance to meet other synesthetes who immediately ask me if I have synesthesia after seeing the art.
