Abstract art squit 15

Abstract 15

This abstract piece of artwork was created whilst listening to a track by an experimental band called 'The Harridans'.

The name of the track is 'Murder to the beat' and starts off with a lengthy improvised intro of drums and guitar, which then launches into a heavy repititious tribal drum rhythm, accompanied by a very linear guitar part that threads through the whole track.

Vocals also help to pin down the experimental feel, whilst adding some very dark elements to give the song more conceptual weight.

In the abstract piece of artwork the black lines represent the vocals, the blood red sections are the drum rhythm, all of the lighter pastel tones are the linear guitar part, and all of the other colour shadings are the improvised sections.

The tiny gaps of light within the piece refer to the only section of the song that is in 4/4 time.

Everything else within the song are played in very angular odd time signatures.
