How can you quantify & analyze music from its raw form, into a written word, a data set, and finally a visual representation? An ironic & difficult task it reveals itself to be. Using Processing, this capstone examines Pearl Jam’s partial discography by sorting lyrics through research studies on emotional associations with words and with beats-per-minute information. Converting this data into RGB numbers, each song ultimately achieves a unique color value. The final prints pay homage to the years of analog music making, while remaining thoughtfully tongue-in-cheek about the challenge of carrying an experience of the senses across mediums.
