Delicate String Tension

“A painter … in his longing to express his inner life, cannot but envy the ease with which music, the most non-material of the arts today, achieves this end. He naturally seeks to apply the methods of music to his own art.” - Kandinsky

In this game I gave to Kandinsky’s painting Delicate Tension my own musical voice. Being a guitarist I saw in each line, shape and color a different sound gesture.

As the controller moves on the painting touching the different compositional elements, it can hear my musical associations. This way the painting becomes a musical score and the controller the “guitar/orchestra” director.
