Archimusic blends music and architecture.


27 songs make up the soundtrack of this series of illustrations depicting the music and its authors.The idea was taking cue from an intangible item like music, giving shape light and color to musicand its performers. An exercise to uninhibited sens and try to listen to architecture and to observemusic. Be guided by the sequence of notes to give form and life to architectural forms.Music and architecture are intimately joined by a cosmic connection. They both are generated byan underlying code, an order revealed by mathematics and geometry.


Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence.If music is horizontal, vertical or oblique. If the sound leans firmly on the ground or if it touches ontiptoe. If it's made of contrasting colors or tones that change gradually. Shaping architecturewalking on the musical staff. The stave as a metaphor of structural foundation on which rests a“musical architecture”.


As abstract art shape based on rhythm, proportion and harmony, in these images architecture andmusic share a clear cultural lineage. The color and the different nuances of music shape the formsand volumes.


Reading horizontally gives some basic melodic lines, while reading vertically reveals both harmonyand dissonance. A building like an harmonic progression following the movement of chords. Aspatial progression that is equivalent to the harmonic progression through chords. Generate arhythm of solids and voids to reproduce the sequences of notes and silences.


Try to listen to the architecture. Interpret the its musicality and rhythm. Leave notes drawing animaginary architecture following the rhythm of the imagination.
