Markus Meyer is a musician and artist. I visited him in his studio in Cologne where I had the chance to witness him creating a pictorial projection plane by using audio samples and live bass loops. The tweeter and membrane of a loudspeaker were being attached to 4 strings and hung inside a plexiglass box. Markus then applied colour pigments onto the tweeter and membrane. Due to the vibration caused by connecting the speaker to the music sources the pigments started to whirl up and blown onto the canvas placed underneath the speaker. The colour pigments sprinkled canvas forms the basis of a new motive. Markus Meyer comments: „ It's that principle of random that I connect to the membrane of the speaker which maximises openness, spontaneity and decision making reliability for the art of painting. Because of the freedom of the open musical concept the proportion of randomness increases by a significant amount. The method is being refined to the point where it is no longer random.“
