Individual piece movement
Full composition
Project Statement
My goal for this project was to create a paper mechanism to illustrate the moving notes of the piano in the song “Morning Moon” by Kansan, Wishes and Dreams. I was able to accomplish this through a curved pull tab and a sequence of circles decreasing in size. The final composition was cut from a 9×11 piece of card stock and was made in a yellow and blue color palette and displays the piano note mechanism in the center. The whole composition displays the layering of music in a vertical fashion also in yellow, blue, and purple.

Reflection
During this project, one of the biggest challenges my group faced was formulating a concept for three people. Since the song had distinct musical layers, we overcame this challenge by assigning each person to a specific part. Another problem I ran into was the simplicity of the mechanism. The complexity could have been greater, however, the motion still appears clearly.
