Music Poster Images

I should capture the abstract moment of the images. I need to incorporate Four Tet's Sixteen Oceans album in the photos. This project is still in progress, so I just have pictures without typography right now. I used different objects to create the feeling of Four Tet's album. The album is based on Four Tet's sophisticated ambient sound, with a changeable melody, rhythm, and style. In my opinion, the five keywords of this album are meditative, rhythmical, mysterious, tactile, and ethereal.
Learning Outcomes:
I learned how to create abstract photos. Additionally, I could have noticed the beauty of abstract images. They have intangible power to convince viewer's feelings. It was one of the most interesting projects during this class. I could capture the feeling of music with abstract forms. When I also saw my classmates' work, they also have their own feeling regarding music.
Track 05 Romantics sounds like I am surrounded by floating water drops in the air. I tried to express that feeling by using water and sparkly ribbons. I used sunlight to create an enchanting and ethereal moment.
I used different colors of jellies to create the abstract scene. I used light to capture the mysterious movement. I thought the diverse colors would go well with track 6, which has various heights of synthesizer sound.
I covered the light with a plastic bag and created the movement of color and light. Green, blue, pink, and purple colors are combined very well and express atmospheric and rhythmical sense.
The various colors of light build rhythmical sounds of beat and synths. The sound delivers the tactile sense to my whole body. I think this image goes well with track 2, which sounds like electronica and house music.
Track 3 and 4 have still and vivid beat and synthesizer sound. The foggy yellow light represents that feeling well. It feels like there is something unclear figure that arouses people to keep listening.
