Preparation 

The first thing I did was research Norman Lewis. I found out he was a painter popular during the Harlem Renaissance and early in his career helped Jackson Pollock with his wartime paintings. Being a music lover I was particularly interested in his paintings that tried to capture the sounds of the budding jazz movement. I finally settled on his painting twilight noises because it spoke to me the most in terms of sound. I went in to this project with the idea that I would have the final product be entirely sounds based. My ultimate goal was to replicate the sounds that Norman Lewis encoded into his painting.
