A visual identity for live music

CHROMA TEMPO

A visual score that gives rhythm a scale, colour a duration, and every performance room to change.

Project context & references

A visual identity for live music

Measured sound data conducts the scale, colour, and duration of a live visual identity.

The score changes pace, not its legibility.

Setting
A rehearsal desk, an audio console, a black-box stage, and a standing audience.
Value
Transparent translation from sound to image.
Design approach
A two-part title spans the score. Tall and wide frames alternate like different note lengths.
