WHAT IS A cNOTE?

Some might say that the image above (“cNOTE”) is modern art inspired by Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollock, Yaacov Agam or Damien Hurst.  It appears to be an image composed of random rectangles. But that is a superficial description. 

In fact, this image is more than a picture or a pattern.  It is Music.  It is Music converted into Art.  It is Bob Marley’s Redemption Song.  It is a cNOTE.TM

One could play Redemption Song by reading this cNOTE.  Specifically, each rectangle represents a musical note.  A rectangle’s color denotes pitch and its size represents duration.  For instance, “C” notes are green, “D” notes are blue, “E” notes are violet, etc.  Also, wider rectangles equal longer note durations.  The notes are arranged from left to right and top to bottom.  It is similar to reading a page from a book.  (See ARTIST page for a detailed description.) 

STEM CELL TRANSPLANT

In the medical and opiate abyss of a stem cell transplant, Erik Rosen could not hear the music coming from his stereo.  Instead, he saw music reflecting against his hospital room wall.  The images were burned into Erik's memory.  “It was a trip,” Erik said. This is a scientific condition called “synesthesia,” where people have sensory misfires.  

During his recovery, Erik attempted to reproduce these images in a physical form that others could experience.  He experimented with dozens of media, materials and processes.  It took him six months to produce an accurate depiction of the synesthetic vision of music that he saw in the hospital.  "I was obsessed with this project," Erik said.  "It was all that I could think about.  I felt like Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters of the Third Kind."

CREATING A cNOTE IS A COMPLICATED PROCESS

Every cNOTE requires many hours of manual labor.  Each musical note must be manually inserted into the artistic piece.  The song must then be transformed into an image.  The objective is to strip away everything but the music's essence, revealing a song in its own, most appealing, light.   Each cNOTE has its own characteristics and no two are the same.  Each song has its own aesthetic.
