MESH: L.P. Ponor and Nick Janczak (trumpet + final mix)

L.P PONOR are a visual artist (L.P. Ponor) and a musician ( Nick Janczak) who have been making collaborative work with others for the past seven years are working on new collaborative art music collaboration projects. Previously to this, they worked for many years as a visual artist (painter) and a musician on their own projects. They are British but both have (independently), connections to Scandinavia, were they both have worked, studied, exhibited and made music. 

When they met up for the first time in the UK, the similarities in how they worked and thought about the connections between art and music making and the conversations they subsequently had about this, inspired then to start their latest collaborative process/project.

Their blog details the processes of their collaborative work: https://thereisnomorethereanymore.wordpress.com

The visual art aspects are written about in another blog titled PONOR, where L.P. Ponor writes about art/music projects and collaborations with musicians. In particular she works with improvising musician Nick Janczak.

Art statement on Ponor's blog

“…Currently I make two things. I make physical works, oil paint/canvas/objects and I make digital images some of which I like to make move about – where these two main areas touch is my personal Point Of No Return. P O N O R blog is where I post and where I try to place myself firmly outside my comfort zone.  Being constantly curious/questioning, is an insanely optimistic stance, it makes things a little chaotic at times. Hopefully what I end up with, after all the processing, reflects my current obsessions…”

D.D. Jameson - Colour Music (1844)

D.D. Jameson devised a systematic approach to create a colour music score for a specially adapted piano. His scores took the information from a piano music score and applied it to a sound-music colour scheme and translated it into a colour score. The colour score communicated the musical information - such as notes, rhythm, durations. His score was to link to a special adaptation of a piano music instrument that would have the keys prepared with the relevant colours. The musician could then play the piano by following the colour music score.  Not only were the piano keys to be coloured according to his colour to tone analogy system but the score was to also communicate other aspects of the musicianship such as: the intervals of the music, the notes and their octaves, by mapping the height of the colour to the octave of the note and the width of the colour to the duration of the note. "A pianoforte having been prepared in the manner described, any air may be slo...
