Approach

How did you approach the assignment and re-creation of the work in a physical medium? Cite examples that informed your approach

Before I looked at any of the examples, I first followed the "Process" section in the instructions. As soon as I selected the song I was going to work with, I analyzed the music by listening to it over and over, trying to come up with ways to interpret the important words, the overall flow, some patterns or repetitions. I also tried importing the song into Audacity to take a look at its waveform.

As a result, I came up with multiple ideas on how to illustrate the song into a physical format, in terms of colors, textures, shapes, and materials.

Then, I looked at some of the examples to inform myself of ways to implement my sketch. The one that was most influential to me was the examples from "SCORES for Notation 21 Collection." Among the images, the image below was how I wanted to implement my design.
