The Color of my Music
CULMINATING EXPERIENCE PRESENTATION
BY
DJUDJU HARTONO
INTRODUCTION
•
Painters often find inspiration from musical colors or the
abstract idea of music.
•
Sesin’s paintings supply me with an endless stream of ideas
for developing my personal language.
•
These inspire my musical textures, sense of tone,
composition and rhythm.
•
Relationship between music and art painting, particularly
Chinese landscape painting.
BACKGROUND
• Since age 9, music has been an part of my life and daily routine.
• After studying Classical music for a certain time, I developed
an interest in Jazz, which proved to become my great passion.
• After my studies I returned to Jakarta form a band and
produce records.
• Developed a unique ‘color’ that expresses my personal
voice through my original music.
• After some self-reflection, I decided to return to school and
obtain my Master’s degree in Jazz.
My Bands, Composing and Arranging
MISSION/GOALS
•
A musical exploration of the phenomena of colors between
music and art.
•
With melody and harmonic textures to transport the viewer
into this realm of colors and poetic imagination.
•
The concept of my project is to explore creative expression as
an emotion, with music and color, where the participants can
interact with their movements.
OBJECTIVES
•
Learn about how composers are inspired by music, stories
and ideas from a specific culture or religion.
•
Consider how composers can borrow and incorporate
specific musical ideas from different cultures in their own
very different musical contexts.
•
Learn the technological and entrepreneurial skills that are
essential for the contemporary performer.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
•
Compose five original compositions to express my uncle
painting and reflex me for my emotional feelings.
1.
Why Not? – Mountain Forest Enthusiasm
2.
Roses – Autumn Landscape
3.
Be There – That Splitting Force
4.
Pleasant Journey – Fishing Under The Pine
5.
Sweet Moment – Foggy Sunset
•
Project Title called Juzikal (Colors of my music)
PROCESS DESCRIPTION
• Creativity tasks: My imagination and skilled in creating
contrast as well as rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, tone
color, texture and form.
• Technological Tasks: The biggest challenge for my CE
project was becoming comfortable with the advanced
technological. As a performance major with limited music
technology experience, I had to learn how to use Pro Tools
and the practical aspects of recording such as signal flow and
setting up sessions.
• Technical Tasks: I will arrange my composition gain firsthand experience in the pre-production, recording, and
mixing process. Recording sessions take place in a variety of
venues, from professional recording studios with a largeformat console, to project studios, to home recording set ups.
SONG DESCRIPTION
1. – Why Not?
•
•
•
In the painting we see two men, the master and
his apprentice, leading their bison into dangerous
territory and their fear is evident in their body
language.
The painting reminds us of our inner strength in
times of struggle in the face of the unknown and
our often imposing surroundings.
The scale of the mountainside in comparison to
the two figures emphasizes the formidable power
of the natural environment that is both
frightening yet beautiful.
2. – Roses
•
This sentimental ballad channels its
drama through the battling forces of
darkness and color in nature.
•
This balance is achieved without any
abrupt moments, creating a
homogenous color of rich ambiguity
alluding to the vastness of one’s
capacity for loneliness and joy.
•
The string orchestration and voice gave
a peaceful clarity for another soul to
smile and wake.
3. - Be There
•
•
•
•
The first thing you notice upon glancing at this artwork
is the house tucked away in what appears to be a dense,
almost foreboding woodland.
However, the message conveyed in this one is perhaps
most evident when coupled with the sweet melody of
the composition.
The jovial brass hook is an enhancement of the lyrical
piano and acoustic guitar countermelodies. The
extended piano and guitar solo sections tie in
wonderfully with the imagery of a living and breathing
forest, and rivers flowing with vivid stories from its own
collective conscious.
This visual and musical poetry is aptly captured in its
title ‘Be There’ which ultimately conveys a message of
“stress-free positivity” and zest for life!
4. - Pleasant Journey
•
The title ‘Pleasant Journey’ is perfectly fitting for this
lyrical ballad and accompanying painting.
•
The understated piano and voice arrangement is
consistent with the refined elegance of the portrait.
•
The delicate piano interlude evokes the image of the
raft flowing along the river in a moment of serene
natural beauty.
•
Like the river, the bittersweet melody flows and ebbs
between moments of hope and introspection as
expressed with refreshing honesty in the singer’s
native Japanese voice.
5.
- Sweet Moment
•
•
•
•
To describe the red, orange and yellow sunset as lush
would be an understatement.
This striking fusion of complementary colors evokes a
sense of timeless passion as though the all too often
fleeting moment of a perfect sunset has been captured
in all its organic beauty.
The perpetual bass guitar and drum beat is made
whole with the piano and acoustic guitar for a
particularly lush middle range.
Everything feels together, from the piano and acoustic
guitar unison melody; this reinforces the strength of
unity, which only furthers its resolve in their respective
solo sections.
PROMOTION STATEGIES
A. Objectives:
•
•
•
Share my music with the world – (build relationships with
producers).
Discover my style - (unique & exciting as I can so that fans are
excited about my music and me).
Target audience - (reach out to fan, book the right venues & sell my
music).
B. Actions:
•
•
•
Music through website - (social media to promoting my music).
Music on Facebook - (connect with my fans & ask for feedback).
Music online - (have my music readily available on SoundOut,
Spotifty and iTunes).
CONCLUSION
•
I discovered that the concepts of image and sound are
fundamental elements in the creative process.
•
Today, music composition is regarded as a very progressive and
modern art form.
•
Along with the advanced technology that has brought a fresh
breath of air to today’s music, we have seen a steady increase of
new musicians.
•
Looking towards the future, I believe that the joy of making
music comes from the never-ending discoveries that you find
along the way.
