Imaginary Landscapes: “128” by Charlotte Stiles (2013)
This landscape was inspired by this impromptu dance party that was held on Aug 12, 2013 on Manhattan Bridge. There are 6 musical notes (they resemble swans below the bridge) for the 600 people that were there. The soundwaves across the top of the bridge is the song “Rattle” by Bingo Players. Like most house music songs, “Rattle” has a BPM of 128. Above the bridge there is a excerpt from Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 128”, the second of two musical sonnets. 128 is, also, the amount of program numbers in synthesizers.
