Tu Vois C Que Je Vois [Intro] Hey [Verse 1] And she was lying in the grass And she could hear the highway breathing And she could see a nearby factory She's making sure she is not dreaming [Pre-Chorus] See the lights of a neighbor's house Now she's starting to rise Take a minute to concentrate And she opens up her eyes [Chorus] The world was moving, she was right there with it And she was The world was moving, she was floating above it And she was And she was [Verse 2] And she was drifting through the backyard And she was taking off her dress And she was moving very slowly Rising up above the earth [Pre-Chorus] Moving into the universe And she's drifting this way and that Not touching the ground at all And she's up above the yard [Chorus] The world was moving, she was right there with it And she was (Hey, hey) The world was moving, she was floating above it And she was (Hey, hey, hey) [Bridge] She was glad about it, no doubt about it She isn't sure about what she's done No time to think about what to tell them No time to think about what she's done And she was Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey [Verse 3] And she was looking at herself And things were looking like a movie She had a pleasant elevation She's moving out in all directions, oh, oh, oh [Pre-Chorus] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey [Chorus] The world was moving, she was right there with it And she was (Hey, hoo-hoo) The world was moving, she was floating above it And she was (Hey, hey) Joining the world of missing persons And she was (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey) Missing enough to feel all right And she was [Outro] Ha, ha, and she was And she was (Huh, hey, hey) And she was (Hey, hey, hey, hey) And she was (Ha, ha-ta-ta, ta, hey, hey) And she was Hey, hey, hey, and she was And she was And she was

 

[Verse 1] Down by the river by the boats Where everybody goes to be alone Where you won't see any rising sun Down to the river, we will run [Verse 2] When by the water, we drink to the dregs Look at the stones on the riverbed I can tell from your eyes You've never been by the riverside [Pre-Chorus 1] Down by the water the riverbed Somebody calls you, somebody says Swim with the current and float away Down by the river everyday [Chorus] Oh, my God, I see How everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside [Verse 3] When that old river runs past your eyes To wash off the dirt on the riverside Go to the water, so very near The river will be your eyes and ears [Pre-Chorus 2] I walk to the borders on my own To fall in the water just like a stone Chilled to the marrow in them bones Why do I go here all alone? [Chorus] Oh, my God, I see How everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside [Chorus] Oh, my God, I see How everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside [Outro] Down by the riverside Down by the riverside Silverandgold 06 Labbandono

Format

The individual works are created on paper from the Carta Pura sketchpad: 140g, off-white, acid-free, 100% cotton, 17 x 24 cm

Songtitles

The song title is laid out graphically on the page using a selected font. The colours are predefined. They are created in the RGB colour space. In general, the primary colours red, green, blue, yellow, magenta and cyan have been assigned to the songs. Each primary colour is adjusted according to the numerical length of the song title and the artist’s name.

Buchstabenlisten

Von dem jeweiligen Liedtext (in [] gesetzter Text wird ignoriert) werden folgende vorkommenden Zeichen (normalisiert auf Kleinschreibun) gezählt: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z, ö, ä, ü, ., -, !,: , ', ?, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Zuordnung der Zeichen zur Richtung der Reihen

Die Zeichen, welche im Liedtitel vorkommen, werden senkrecht geschrieben. Die restlichen waagrecht. Jeweils Buchstaben und Sonderzeichen.

Character lists

The following characters (normalised to lower case) are counted in the relevant song lyrics (text enclosed in [[[[]] is ignored): a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z, ö, ä, ü, ., -, !,: , ', ?, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Assignment of characters to the direction of the rows

The characters that appear in the song title are written vertically. The rest are written horizontally. This applies to both letters and special characters.

Writing the lists of letters

The letters are written by hand above the printed title, starting from the centre of the page and extending halfway up and down or left and right, using a "Rotring Tikky Graphic 0.2 – pigmented ink".

Arrangement of abstractions

The abstractions are arranged so that there is a 5 mm gap between each one.

They are arranged alphabetically, from left to right and from top to bottom.

Definition of individual blocks

The individual blocks are arranged to form a portrait-oriented block. For each letter, the arrangement of the individual blocks across columns and rows is determined such that the difference between the number of columns and rows is minimised, whilst at the same time keeping the number of blank spaces in the last row as low as possible.

The individual block has a 1 cm outer margin.

Dimensions of individual units

 

Order of processing

Processing is carried out in ascending alphabetical order.

CONCEPT

(03/26)

For the series ‘naive Playlist’, 41 works are transformed into an abstract form:

The set of rules is based on the following parameters of the songs:

  • Artist
  • Song title
  • Lyrics

The song title is printed on a sheet in a colourful, graphic design.

The lyrics are analysed for the letters they contain, and the letters are written manually in rows for each letter over the printed graphic text.

The positions of the rows of letters are determined by rules based on the relationships between the aforementioned parameters. Deviations are permitted in the execution based on aesthetic judgement. There are vertical and horizontal rows.

TASKS

(02/26)

  • Final selection of songs
  • Deciding on the format
  • Considering whether the works will be created entirely digitally or with manual editing

IDEA

(02/26)

I organise my music using MediaMonkey. My music library contains 67,000 tracks. These are organised into 240 playlists. That’s far too many for me to remember anything here. That’s why I record track properties for all songs according to various criteria. To do this, I assign self-defined ‘emotions’ so that I can generate mood-based playlists. MediaMonkey has a rating scale of 0–5 stars. In February, I listened to the ‘Naive, 5 Stars’ playlist and was somehow moved by the songs. As I’d always wanted to do something with the playlists, I came up with the idea of creating an abstract, pretty sheet for each song in the playlist, based on rules.

At the time, the ‘naive 5-star’ playlist comprised 42 songs.
