The original concept for OVERTONES\u00a0arose from a short tonal composition written by Italian composer\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.walter-branchi.com\/\">Walter Branchi<\/a> in 2006, wherein the entire piece of music consists of one continual note surrounded by its overtones.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Overtone\">Overtones<\/a> emanate from a single note and are perceived by the listener as layers of beauty (harmonics) arising from one original tone. The potential cultural symbolism of OVERTONES\u00a0is exhilarating: a single tone emanates as multiple layers of harmonious sound, the depth and richness witnessed by us only if we pause to listen.<\/span><\/address>\n<address style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-style: normal;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/address>\n<address style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/address>\n<address style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-style: normal;\">My task as a visual artist was to translate the tonal concept of OVERTONES\u00a0into the visual language of performance, shadow and reflection \u2013 overtones of the physical objects we see \u2013 such that the cultural, audible and visual interpretations of OVERTONES\u00a0coalesced into a cohesive original new work involving symbolism, sound and sight.<\/span><\/address>\n<address style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-style: normal;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/address>\n<address style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-style: normal;\">OVERTONES\u00a0was conceived as an ephemeral work incorporating performance, free-standing reflective surfaces, water, fire, shadow, and musical transmissions. The event commenced one hour prior to sunset and ended one hour after sunset, the period when &#8220;visual overtones&#8221; reverse from day to night: light transitions into darkness, and shadow becomes reflection. At the end of the performance, as the sounds of the city take over again, the audience thus recognizes that \u2018harmonics\u2019 are emanating even from the ambient city sounds \u2013 audible overtones of the city itself.<\/span><\/address>\n<address><span style=\"font-style: normal;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/address>\n<address><span style=\"font-style: normal;\">Collaborators: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kristinandreajones.com\/\">Kristin Jones<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.walter-branchi.com\/\">Walter Branchi <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mkjohnsonmusic.com\">Mark K.
