Mahler Symphony Nr. 2, 3 & 8.

Poster series proposal for the UdK Berlin Symphony Orchestra | 2019

   For the poster series, a grid was used referring to the line system of music scores. This is created by adding vertical lines to the usual horizontal lines.

 

The construction of the grid serves as a playing surface where sounds and rhythmic signs are created.

 

In this way, the name and the symphony number can always be generated anew and a new motif can also be created.

 Music scores inspired grid

The competition took place as part of the "Notation Lab", a seminar led by Bernd Grether, artistic assistant in the Visual Systems class at the Udk.

 

The aim was to develop a graphic system for a series of event posters that uses techniques and elements of notation systems to develop a visual composition.


The seminar was supported by interdisciplinary workshops in collaboration with Marc Sabat's Experimental Music Orchestra.
