MUSICAL ARTWORKS by Tim Wakefield

Stunning artworks created from digital images formed in the recording process. Each artwork is hand signed by the musicians. The collection features some of the greatest songs and artists of all times.

Imagine an artwork whose basis is the heartbeat of a song. Each unique Soundwaves creation begins life in the recording studio as a digital pattern formed by the instruments and voices that make up a song. I have devised a technique to enlarge and customise these images, transforming them into large pieces of beautiful contemporary art. I began presenting these to some of the world's top musicians, songwriters and bands to ask if they would become involved in the project. Many have now taken part enthusiastically in Soundwaves. Working with the musicians I interpret their chosen song and ask them to approve the finished image which best represents their music. Once this is done I print a Limited Edition run of between 5 and 50 prints which are all hand signed by the musicians. These are then numbered individually.

As part of the Soundwaves initiative I donate artwork for the fundraising efforts of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy. Please visit the charity section to find out more about their amazing work and the services they provide.
