Hands On.

I started working with the piano to create little pieces of music. As I played them, I thought about how i might visualise and communicate the information of the music I was playing through forms other than traditional western music notation. Ideas of John Cage swarmed my head as I played, visions of large graphic scores. I tried to move away from that, and started to stare at my hands while i played. This pushed me to realise the vast shapes made by your hands when playing the piano. Obvious as it might sound, especially when so much of the quality of sound when playing the piano is thanks to the shape of your hand, I hadn't thought of it has a form of recording music - through hand shapes. Here was where i started several experiments.
