Archimusic, the new series from Federico Babina
A few months ago we should you Archist: Art works transformed into Buildings from Federico Babina. Now, he has taken his illustrations further with Archimusic, where songs become buildings. The series represents 27 songs, from Miles Davis to Michael Jackson to Amy Winehouse. It combines the music and lyrics of each song with the artwork featured on the original single and album covers, creating a series of fantasy designs that feature stacked shipping containers, towering chimneys and sculptural staircases.
Babina explains: “Music and architecture are intimately joined by a cosmic connection. They both are generated by an underlying code, an order revealed by mathematics and geometry. […] in these images architecture and music share a clear cultural lineage. The color and the different nuances of music shape the forms and volumes. Reading horizontally gives some basic melodic lines, while reading vertically reveals both harmony and dissonance. A building like an harmonic progression following the movement of chords. A spatial progression that is equivalent to the harmonic progression through chords. Generate a rhythm of solids and voids to reproduce the sequences of notes and silences.”
