The motto was #TuneWithAView. Let me explain:
We received a drawing by Stephanie Merchak, which was automatically drawn (as in écriture automatique) to a piece of music. We didn't get the music, though, rather, we were asked to make a piece of music inspired by this drawing.
Écriture automatique. Intuitive Musik comes to mind, or improvised things in general. I opted to use a small modular setup (Everett from "Riemann's World" and the current Calypso), then (without looking at the drawing much before) start the recording, put up the drawing and...GO!
This is it. No edits, no second chance. Sadly, I did fail to capture a video. You can't redo a first impression.
