FEED MY EYES
Title tribute to Alice in Chains!
I'm now working on a pen & ink (the free flowing style india ink) using textures derived from techniques like stippling, hatching, crosshatching etc. The goal is to portray the journey of sound. From the first note to the final interpretation. Here are some facts if you're hungry.
When a person actually hears a sound, the air-borne sound waves channel down through the ear canal and hit the eardrum, causing it to experience vibrations. These vibrations are similar to the ripples that are made when a stone is dropped in water; the ripples disperse until they hit an object. The vibrations are passed to the small bones of the middle ear, called ossicles. After traveling through numerous structures of the middle ear, the vibrations become fluid-borne. They are then transmitted to the endolymph of the membranous labyrinth and to the hair cells of the organ of Corti or “spiral organ” (organ of the inner ear that contains auditory sensory cells or “hair cells”). It is the movement of these cells that convert the vibrations into nerve impulses. These impulses then travel over the cochlear nerve, where the mechanical energy of sound is converted into electrical signals that can be carried to the auditory cortex of the brain. It is in this auditory cortex that the nerve impulses are interpreted as sound.
I'd like it to be commercial enough so that any musician can hang it on their wall & connect with it, learn from it, & obviously be able to see sound. :)
Now that you're licking your lips I'll crank out this "nourriture des dieux" and feed you something tasty as soon as possible.

p.s. please feel free to share your thoughts, your interpretations, all are welcome and appreciated! A piece conceptualized from many brains that is properly executed, can exponentially resonate to more people out there and isn't that the point? :)
