One of my projects at university is to create pieces of music based off a selection of literature pieces, art and sound. It's an inspiration project and we could interpret the material as we saw fit. I created two pieces based off an art piece and a sound piece.
Feathers and Fins (http://www.mediafire.com/?jkyytizmfzn) - This is based off an art piece by Escher, with birds and fish in a pattern inside a diamond shape, almost a yin and yang http://www.teachengineering.org/collection/cub_/lessons/cub_images/cub_air_lesson08_activity2_image1.jpg. I wanted to use acoustic instruments, strings and synthesis to create a theme that explored the piece as a whole and individually.
Searching for a Star (http://www.mediafire.com/?duimtmyzxtz) - This is based off a sound piece of a synth creating star like textures, some sort of feedback loop. I wanted to use orcestration and synthesis to create a theme of exploration for space, developing into a theme and being more about discovery.
It was a fun project and I really enjoyed making these pieces.
