Fall 2016 Poster, designed by Emily Eck

Varying shapes and colors function as experimental music notations where melody, harmony, duration, influence form. This poster references John Adams’ and Arvo Pärt’s compositions as well as artist Wadada Leo Smith, whose compositional approaches to music notation reveal remarkable methods of visually translating sound to image. Arrangement and spacing of letter forms express the overlapping of notes where curves and edges meet to direct the flow of sound.
