What music inspires
Day 26: What music inspires
Welsh translation: Y gerddoriaeth sy’n ysbrydoli
Hi people, My names Nathan and I’m an artist/musician based in Wolverhampton. I’ve always worked closely with artist and musician societies within my city but I’ve never brought both communities together, but I’ll be doing just this with The January Challenge! Looking forward to getting creative with you…
During my studies at university, I was researching the releations between sound and sight and looking into phenomena such as synesthesia (the mixing of senses e.g. seeing sounds). There’s a very interesting relationship with sight and sound that I believe exists within everyone but displays itself in different ways, some see sounds as an array of colours and shapes (maybe even tastes) while others may have sensations that exist more within the imagination. I believe theres a little bit of synesthesia in all of us.

Helo bobl. Nathan ydw i a dwi’n artist-gerddor yn Wolverhampton. Dwi wastad wedi gweithio’n agos gyda chymdeithasau artistiaid a cherddorion yn y ddinas ond byth wedi dod â’r ddwy gymuned ynghyd. Ond dwi am wneud hynny gyda Her Mis Ionawr! Dwi’n edrych ymlaen at fod yn greadigol gyda chi…

Do
Click below to listen to a piece of music I have created.
Your challenge is to create a mark on a page in response to the music, that interprets what you’re hearing. Think about what textures or shapes the sounds might inspire. Try to allow yourself to create in unison with the sound.
Alternatively you could think about what vibrations you can feel around you, what marks would you make in response to them?
Cliciwch isod i wrando ar ddarn o gerddoriaeth dwi wedi’i greu. Eich her yw creu marc ar dudalen mewn ymateb i’r gerddoriaeth, sy’n dehongli beth rydych chi’n ei glywed. Meddyliwch pa wead neu siapau y gallai’r seiniau eu hysbrydoli. Ceisiwch adael i’ch hun greu mewn unsain â’r sain.

Think
Music and art are both known to evoke feeling, try to move with the sounds to see what your first thoughts or feelings bring to life on the page.
Rydyn ni’n gwybod bob cerddoriaeth a chelf yn ennyn teimladau, ceisiwch symud gyda’r seiniau i weld beth fydd eich meddyliau neu deimladau cyntaf yn ei gynhyrchu ar y dudalen.
