Disquiet Junto Project 0456: Line Up
The Assignment: Interpret a painting by Agnes Martin as if it were a graphic score.
---
I was really struck by Agnes Martin - both her works, and her life story. There's an austerity to her work that defies categorisation and meaning. It's less about the painting itself, and more about your internal experiences while viewing.

For this work, I chose Untitled #1 2003. I loved the striking contrasts between the black triangles [mountains? I choose to interpret them in such a way] against the static, lined sky [power line?]. I went for something appropriately minimal - a generated tone that went from 0-440hz [aka A, the shape of the mountains] and down again. To represent the parallel lines I went for a steady pulsating sound, and for the backdrop I took one of my field recordings of a falling pebble, slowed x1200 times.
