Individual Tutorial notes

Prior to this tutorial i was quite unsure on exactly where i was going with the written side and the project on a whole. As it stands i am still a long way off from having all my research together and even starting the written work but the tutorial was very helpful and beneficial and at least now i have a bit more of a sense of direction with it. 

So the notes i have got from the tutorial are as follows: 

- Focus down on one music genre 
- The Key theme is 'visual representation' 
- Use interviews - A good valid source/way of getting reference material 
- Visual clues and symbols 
- Avant Garde and abstract 

Theme - 'The Phenomenon of Sound & Philosophy of Music' 

'The role of the album cover in the visual'

- Theories of art & music 
- Examples of album covers and relation to music 
- Your own responses to music 


- Visual arts and relationship to music 

'All constantly aspires to the condition of music' 

- Looking into album covers - specific genre? - Miles Davis/Jazz?....

-Key word -' Translation '

' The role of the album cover in the visual translation of music' ?...

'You need to unpick the music and the artwork!!!'

What is the practical?

- An exploration/unpicking of ONE single album? - Perhaps...

Use Case Studies to help make sense of the question 

Could do an analysis of 3 to begin with - then narrow it down 

Things to look at/Action to take: 

- Stanley Donwood - Radiohead artwork 

- Bjork

- DR.ME 

- Roger Dean - Yes Album Covers
