Reflection on Art and Music

Music

John Cage - First interluded for prepared piano: This piece of music sounds like different kind of drums being played. Even though the music is meant to be played with pianos I did not hear any piano in this music piece.

Steve Relch - Different Trains  - The music piece starts off quite, the tempo  is fast, the pitch of the music piece is high and the dynamics sound soft. The music piece has a steady pace all the way through, the pattern is consistent all the way in the music piece. The duration of the notes are short but slowly when you get into the music the duration of the notes get longer. The music seems balanced because, the arrangements of the elements to give the music piece harmony, so that the music piece sounds nice. I do not hear many gaps or breaks in between the music piece. The structure of the music starts off quite and then slowly develops and moves on to getting louder near the end.

Meredith Monk - Walking - The started off really quietly in a very high pitched voice by one person. the song then slowly became louder but still consistent with the high pitch all the way through. there is a consistent rhythm and pattern all the way through in the music piece. the duration of notes are long and one after the other. The texture of the melody of the music sounds quite thin and sounds like only one person is singing all the way through.

Eric Whitacre - Sleep - The starting dynamics of the music piece is very quite and sung in a high pitch. The tempo of the music is slow. In between the song there is a sudden burst of loud dynamic still consistent with high pitch. 

Art

Wassillg Delauney - Square with concentric rings - This art piece has no texture as it is not a 3D model that can be touched. In this picture I see a variety of different bright colors that stand out, and all these colors are balanced all of them are light colors that look good together. there is also a bit of contrast in some colors and the contrast is well done making the picture look beautiful. The artist has used the whole page and used their space wisely. The art form is made in 2D. The pattern of this art work are the squares and circles drawn repeatedly.There is an emphasis on the squares and circles to highlight them in the picture.

Robert Delauney - This piece of art has many colors and there is no specific place from where the reflection is coming from making all the colors look light in color. You can also clearly see many lines that have been used in the piece of art. The colors from the art piece seem to have merged together and there are a few lines used to create effects of different shapes put together such as a stair case kind of effect that you can see on the art work.
