Nancy Bell Scott (USA) Found Sound


Unique Book, Mixed Media dated 22/5/2012.
Tucked away, inside an almost glass pocket lie these words:
Enharmony – Expressing sounds having the same pitch but written (text fades…) but Found Sound NEVER fades. Notes lengthen and brighten, taking on surrounding color as the sun gleams on pages building crescendo's. You know what found sound looks like - it looks like this book. 


You KNOW the sound of beautifully crafted pages turning. The sound of paint sighing with gentle contentment  to be living where they exists in harmony with materials entangled in its colour.  This is that book. Where music lives visually.  And close up? Its no different. It just gets deeper. And deeper.

All accessible  art is easy to enjoy, whether it be music, literature or visual. When all three are contained in one volume, a whole world of pages takes up its tune. Semi-tones may apply in Music, but this book?  It holds perfect time.
