brief
introduction
Meredith Monk is a unique influential artist of new opera music, a composer, singer, choreographer and director. Best known for her innovative exploration of the human voice and experimentation with vocal techniques, she uses the voice as the central instrument to her exploration and performance.
approach
In order to reflect the music of Meredith Monk, I first had to listen to her voice through many repeats to grasp any hint of idea that comes to mind. Concepts of shapes and keywords relating to the music were noted down. Taking inspiration from the theme of the album (nature) and the main instrument, the human voice as its center.
I knew I wanted to represent the organic, harmonic, and variations of the vocals. With that in mind, a colorful watercolor path was created to represent the interlacing voice. A serif typeface was chosen to reflect the nature theme of the album, as the terminal of the R resembles the organic shape of a plant.

OUTCOME
The final outcome creates a warm interlacing colours visuals that represents the complexity and variety of the human voice.
