Listen & Make
Have we lost our relationship with music? In the past 40 years the way we listen to and enjoy music has changed dramatically. From huge black 12” LP’s to smaller shiny CD’s through to today with some artist never actually producing a physical product, releasing music in the form of MP3’s and music videos.
Music has a profound affect on many of us, it can influence the way you dress, the company you keep and can influence, compliment and even alter your mood. Surely being able to carry around your entire music collection in your pocket has diluted the need to think about what music you want to listen to at certain times.
This must mean that people are taking less time to think about the way music affects them, and thus how music makes them feel. Listen & Make is an experiment into whether having a physical representation of a song helps us to visualise it better.
Here is the first instalment, LIVE/EVIL featuring two track by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Mercy Seat & From her to Eternity.
Instructions
1. Most importantly, have the selected song playing in the background
2. Cut out each character using a craft knife (the more time and care you take the better the out come)
3. Score along the inner fold lines
4. Fold the character, you should start to see it take shape now
5. Apply glue to the tabs and stick together the 3D character
6. Display forwards or backwards each side represents a different track.
Enjoy
