>> CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS TO A NEW BOOK:
>>
>> SONIC LANDSCAPES: DESIGNING MUSIC + SEEING SOUND
>>
>> To be published internationally by Thames & Hudson, Ltd. (London) in
>> early 2000.
>>
>> _________________________
>>
>> SONIC LANDSCAPES offers a journey into a place where sound is seen and
>> image is heard.
>> The reader travels through a variety of musical genres including
>> classical, jazz, blues, folk,
>> country, rock, pop, new age, urban, world, and electronic, and explores
>> the challenges in
>> capturing a visual sense of a physically and spatially unconfined art.
>>
>> SONIC LANDSCAPES is not another “style bible,” or merely a collection of
>> aesthetically
>> stimulating graphic design products from the music industry, organized
>> into conventionalized
>> types. The goal of SONIC LANDSCAPES is to teach the reader how to think
>> about the
>> relationship between music and visual design. This is accomplished by
>> providing a user-friendly
>> framework in which to analyze the factors of form, function, technology,
>> and context in the
>> music graphics industry.
>>
>> SONIC LANDSCAPES seeks specimens that embrace the various methods of
>> production:
>> artistic and commercial, individual and collaborative, two-dimensional
>> and three-dimensional.
>> Each work should exhibit the following: technical proficiency, a
>> signature or personal imprint
>> of the artist or designer, and a meaning that transcends the
>> original/commercial function to
>> become self-contained artifact.
>>
>> SONIC LANDSCAPES will be organized into four sections:
>>
>> I. Voice
>> Introduces the subject of the music seen with precedents, principles,
>> parameters, and
>> processes.
>>
>> II. Notation
>> Analyzes the use of sign and symbol systems in creating identity and
>> branding for musical
>> artists, recording projects, and performances: legibility, readability,
>> and function of typeface
>> design, logotypes, notation systems will be emphasized.
>>
>> III. Material
>> Analyzes the use of material in the creation of products and packaging
>> for the music industry:
>> issues of style and substance will be emphasized.
>>
>> IV. Atmosphere
>> Analyzes the use of space and other multi-dimensional environments and
>> structures in the
>> visualization of sound.
