After getting burnt out on AutoCAD yesterday, today I researched for site design ideas. I am discovering a whole realm of information that I didn’t know existed – from beautiful new data mapping techniques to Acoustic Ecology and existence of “a worldwide network of environmental sound art“.
Thank-you Andrea for sharing this link. I love it!
The method behind The Shape of Song
The diagrams in The Shape of Song display musical form as a sequence of translucent arches. Each arch connects two repeated, identical passages of a composition. By using repeated passages as signposts, the diagram illustrates the deep structure of the composition.![]() |
