22/33 Atchafalaya

12. Januar 2022 by SaraW Master Research

Take a listen to the original:

One of the albums that I have probably listened to most often and most actively is SYLVA by Snarky Puppy. Each song on its own is a masterpiece in my opinion and I highly recommend the videos of the live concert on Youtube!

The lively and brassy arrangement first made me give the background a color scheme of very warm orange and red tones. For the contrasting patterns in the left foreground, I took as inspiration the bass line heard in the solo part (min. 02:34). Its driving character and simple movement in second steps are roughly mirrored here visually. My self-assigned task for this painting is to develop a bass line that follows the painted pattern. I kept to the downward movement in second steps and added a fast eighth note movement at the end.

„Atchafalaya“ by Sara Wittazscheck

The following thoughts and associations emerged from this painting:

  • Fire
  • Clouds
  • Nuclear crisis
  • Bird’s eye view
  • Watching eye
  • Two perspectives
  • Showing another face
  • Not being the one you expected
  • Crescent
  • Haze
  • Fog
  • Snakes writhing
  • A drop splashing into the water
  • Shadows
  • Ghosts
  • Fixed gaze
  • Observing and being observed
  • Ripples
  • Silent spectator
  • In the middle everything
  • Arms reaching out to me
  • Unpredictable direction
  • Something rolling towards me
  • Standing above things
  • Waves crashing
  • Tide 
  • Goddess
  • Arbitrariness

Is there a higher power playing with us?

Maybe there is a god’s mother above, not a father

Rocking back and forth, letting tide come and go

Like a child letting water splash back and forth in a bowl until it overflows

Do you want to escape the gaze of the universe or be seen by it?

The development of the song idea „GODDESS“ is documented below:
