I started writing a piece for solo cello yesterday, using all harmonics, and I decided to use that as the basis for my #illomusicfriday piece based on the word “Star”. I love Eleanor’s art pieces every week, but I particularly like this style of hers and I think the image and music work really well together, even though we didn’t consult each other this week. Enjoy!
This week’s #illomusicfriday: “Reflection,” or Too Much Fun With Too Many Digital Delays! I love Eleanor’s illustration for this one too.
Eleanor and I didn’t consult each other on this one, but we ended up having very similar ideas for what we wanted to do with the word “prize,” so it worked together really well!
Another #illomusicfriday! I think this is my favorite one so far. The word was “Mermaid,” and to change things up, I composed my music first and Eleanor did her painting based on the music. Please enjoy and share!
Here’s our #illomusicfriday post for this week, based on the word “Villain”. I really liked Eleanor’s colored pencil drawing, and it was fun to write some dissonant, surreptitious “villain” music to go with it. Enjoy and share!
Welcome back to #illomusicfriday! This week’s word was “Old,” and Eleanor and I each had a different take on it. The snail last week was directly collaborative—Eleanor painted her piece first and I wrote my piece based on it; this week, we worked independently and both finished our pieces before we saw/heard each other’s. So the dynamic of the video is a little different this week.

Introducing… #illomusicfriday! Inspired by Illustration Friday, Eleanor and I have decided to start our own weekly art practice. Every Friday, we’ll take the Illustration Friday word of the week, and Eleanor will create a visual piece and I’ll create an audio piece based on the word. Then we’ll combine the two in a video and post it on our websites and Facebook pages. (My Facebook page: AJ Harbison Music; Eleanor’s Facebook page: Eleanor Harbison—Art and Design; Eleanor’s website: EleanorHarbison.com.) If you like what we do, please feel free to share using the hashtag #illomusicfriday!
So here’s our first post!
