Listening Map (24”x18”) pastels on paper. Something a little different for you today. This is panel 5 (out of a series of 5) which depicts the last few bars of the song “Tank !” by Yoko Kanno. The song was featured in the title sequence to the animated series Cowboy Bebop. Listening maps are used as a tool in early childhood music education to depict music in a visually meaningful way. Usually, the higher the pitch, the higher the visual representation is on the page, and vice versa. Also, multiple melodic lines can be depicted using different colors. The entire series of 5 panels measures 120”x18”.
