03.01 re-mapped diagrams

Diagrammatically re-map the musical events revealed in your chorus analysis into a series of 5 new diagrams for the following pairs of binary oppositions:

1. primary vs. secondary
   
2. vertical vs. horizontal
3. ascending vs. descending
4. continuous vs. discontinuous
5. thick vs. thin

Design Considerations

1. The diagrams represent a systematic architectonic language. Use solid and void figures of rectangles or squares to represent hierarchy (relationship of primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary) within the chorus. Figures can range from any size in relationship to the underlying format grid. Articulate a noticeable gap between figures unless there is an overlapping condition; avoid tangential relationships.
2. Generate several alternate variations (or takes) of the diagrams prior to committing to a final set. Through a critical process of re-study, the solid and voided figures are positioned in an increasingly inventive manner.
3. Use the format pdf as a template for each of your diagrams. X-dimension is time; Y-dimension represents magnitude. The format represents a chorus as 32 measures in length, sub-divided into four 8 measure sections (AABA). All figures must be positioned orthogonally on the format diagram.
4. Read Mapping the Unmappable In Notation by Stan Allen.
   

Required Media: Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop (format.pdf can be opened and manipulated with the programs). Print one 8.5” x 11” sheet per diagram; label the chorus and diagram; 5 sheets total.
