We all experience the moon in a unique way and I am interested in how different people would interpret the same rhythms.  For those who read music notation, I have sheet music in one gallery, and for others, the music can be created by looking at the melodic shapes and dynamics in the artwork gallery.  All instruments are welcome, whether acoustic or computer software (my music is created with Garritan instruments on Sonar x1 program).  For the Haiku project, I'm inviting everyone to submit original haiku inspired by the moon and/or sun.  All submissions should be sent to moonmusichaiku@gmail.com   Each participant will retain all rights to his or her own creative work.  Photos of the exhibit will be posted for anyone who could not attend. 

 

For Music Submissions:

 

Please record as MP3 files which can be attached to the email.  Your interpretation will be posted in the Music gallery with your name and over the next month you can listen to more as they are posted.  For each submission, please include in your email:

​

1. Your name and email address

2. Linear or Layered version

3. Complete Score, solo, or duet with choice of voices (example: Phases with Moonrise, etc.)

4. Choice of instruments for each voice (example:  Phases -- piano, etc.) -- real instruments or computer?

For Haiku Submissions:

​

For the haiku project, please send your original haiku inspired by the moon and/or sun which will be posted with your name n the Haiku gallery.  I will also write your haiku on small paper circles to be mounted as part of the exhibit.

This exhibit is dedicated to the memory of my parents, Irene and Max, who inspired and encouraged me to be an artist my entire life.  And to enjoy the journey and what it reveals.
