Steve Roden - finding words in notes

steve roden - finding words in notes (music for 6 hands), 2006

"finding words in notes" came out of the idea of the connection and separation of the notes on the lines and spaces of the musical staff. the small sculpture uses the notes on the spaces - f,a,c,e - to determine its structure, while the larger sculpture uses the notes on the lines - e,g,b,d,f. their colored stems are based on research on synesthesia and the various color to musical note equivalents i could find."
