The final iteration is a mirror of my first experiment, as I decided to produce seven visual representations of the song. Deciding to choose seven as the song lasts 7:51 minutes. For each of these images I listened to the song in its entirety – creating curious compositions based on duration and material. As I listened to the song, I saw it as blue and calming, randomness intertwined with curation. Repetition and rhythm played a large role in these compositions as through selection and arrangement to produce new relationships of curious audible densities.
Through watercolours and fine point pen I explored the relationships between sound and page through my own interpretation and representation, my notations. Some were considered and slow and some fast and emotive. Are these notations a curation of decisions, of actions, of arrangement. What forms this shape? Is it dictated through memory? Through experience?

Task 05 // from here to there (where Mateus sent me to)
So, for this task we should design a journey for someone else and document the journey someone designed for us. I've designed a journey to Ana Paula and she'll probably be talking about that soon on her blog.
But now I'll post about the journey Mateus designed to me. He gave me these black cards on a envelope and told me I shouldn't look to all of them at the same time - this was on the instructions:
They were all numbered and so I started. The first card told me to go to Euston Tube Station.
Once in Euston, I took the second card and it read: "Get out of the station and find Euston Road. Cross the road and look for Gordon Street". It was pretty easy to find Euston Road, there were signs pointing it from the tube station, so I just followed them. I crossed the road and to find Gordon Street I went to a bus stop and looked on the map.
Gordon Street was at my right hand side, so I walked there and got card number 3, that said: "Walk down Gordon Street and you will find a park called Gordon Square Gardens. Go through the park, eventually you will find a BIG book next to the exit. Exit the park".
So I did. The BIG book was actually one of the BookBench sculptures. It was so nice to see one, I've been reading about them on the internet in a while. This one was for Mrs Dalloway and it was designed by One Red Shoe.
Card number 4 read: "Turn right and walk towards a big old building that looks like a castle. It's the Waterstone's building! I'm sorry to inform you that this is not your final destination. Keep walking down Torrington Place. Turn right when you get to Tottenham Court Road".
These instructions were pretty straight forward. This Waterstones building is beautiful and it really looked like a castle! Once in Tottenham, I read the 5th card: "Walk towards the Starbucks Coffee and turn to Howland Street. Keep walking, turn right on Cleveland Street".
Card 6 told me: "While you walk on Cleveland Street you will look for this Grafitti (picture) Once you've found it, go through this street... It's called Clipst... Street".
The picture was of a Banksy Grafitti! How cool! So I walked until...
It's Clipstone Street, by the way. Next card told me to find another Starbucks nearby and to have a treat (if I was hungry). So, I've found it and followed the advise - I was hungry.
Card 8 said: "Now that you've found Starbucks you just have to look around and find Weymouth Street, then WALK until you find a Santander Bank". I thought I would have to walk a lot, but it wasn't that much until I spotted Santander's red sign:
And then, because I could see The Marylebone (that grey building with the purple flowers), I already knew where I was and imagined where Mateus had send me to. Card 9 read: "Now turn right on Marylebone High Street. It is a lovely street where you will find your final destination. There's a picture of it on the next card. Hope you like it! :)" It is a lovely street indeed, with a lovely bookshop...And this was card number 10:
Daunt Books! :D So, after a BookBench, a Waterstones and a Banksy grafitti, I've arrived at my final destination. Particularly, I enjoy my time being in any bookshop, but Daunt Books is really a beautiful place, specially the travel section (which is why the bookshop is famous for). I arrived there at noon, got a book and a magazine, but only after an hour and a half of going through all the continents shelves.
Well, it was fun doing this! The directions were all pretty straight forward, it wasn't confusing at any time. And I've found it really interesting going to a place that I didn't know where it was; it made me much more aware of my surroundings. Thinking about it now, it could be a nice project: doing some sort of "secret guides" that would take you through nice places of the city. It could be something, right?
