Depth Perception





“You have to look at what you have right in front of you, at what it could be, and stop measuring it against what you’ve lost. I know this to be wise and true, just as I know that pretty much no one can do it.” - Jonathan Tropper

Emotional Notation of Beethoven Sonatas


"The 32 part work titled Ludwig van Beethoven, Sonata 1-32 was born from the thought of how it would be possible to make this music the theme without it becoming an illustration or interpretation. The biggest challenge form me was to develop a notation that would extract the emotional spectrum that is engrained in Beethoven’s score.

Never Let Me Go

Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under

And it's peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray no need to speak
Now I am under all

And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go
Never let me go

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
In the crushes of heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me

Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
And now I am under all


-Florence + the Machine

As if you were on fire from within, the moon lives in the lining of your skin–Pablo Neruda
