Approach

I wanted to take the 2d line of sheet music and extend it into a physical and tangible object.  

I've always really enjoyed art pieces that show two different perspectives of the similar things - for example, lining up an old photograph of a scene/backdrop against its modern counterpart - and I wanted to extend that to the music for Marimba. I was also interested in Natahlie Miebach's work from the course website. Musical scores and sheet music seem to have no meaning on their own, but they really are the basis for great pieces of art. In addition, people often don't connect sheet music to any visual representation beyond the symbols on paper, and so I wanted to emphasize that connection between sheet music, 3d structure, and audio.
