about

This project was part of my honours year at the Victorian College of the Arts. Upon considering what I wanted to do for a creative project, I recalled my trip around Europe in 2019. I was visiting a gallery in France and came across and exhibition that contained some of the history, reasoning, and preparatory sketches behind Picasso’s 1937 masterpiece Guernica. Seeing Picasso’s creative process laid out in this way was a unique experience. The way that he meticulously crafted each element of the mural so it fit together like a jigsaw inspired me deeply. Upon further research of Picasso’s art, I discovered his cubist artworks and I was enthralled by the way that Picasso and the other cubist artists were able to play with perspective in the paintings.

I had always been interested in music which managed to subvert expectations, that played with perspective that used effects and post production as a way off deepening the auditory experience of the music. I wanted to undertake a project in which I would be able to explore these desires and interests in music, but I felt like I needed some kind of conceptual anchor from which I could build these ideas on. After a lot of thinking and discussions with friends, I finally figured out what that anchor was going to be: Cubism.

It took me a while to figure out exactly how I was going to achieve this, but under the guidance of my mentors Barney McAll and Dylan Van der Schyff at the Victorian College of Arts, I managed to craft a framework in which it was possible to translate the visual techniques and devices used in cubist paintings into music.
