Interdisciplinary Equivalents

I took a stroll on the CU campus with a visual artist, and we played around with finding artistic equivalents between visual art and music.  She has found a way to incorporate the element of time into her art, by uploading her art at specific intervals onto social media, over a lengthy period.  (Dancer Twyla Tharp wrote an excellent book on using life rhythm in our artistry called The Creative Habit.)  And I confided that in my recital this week, I used shades of colors and floral fragrances to differentiate related harmonic colors.  (If you are an CSMTA member, you may have seen my article "Hear That?" on harmonic awareness in the current issue of Notes&News.)  We pondered how pitch and chords might translate into art.  Maybe they are the color palettes.   I think dynamics could correspond with the size of the drawing or painting.  Voicing - perhaps foreground and background?  Articulation- brushstroke.  What about timbres?  Share your thoughts!  Email me at cupendulum@gmail.com.
