I had no sketch pad with me so my wife
gave me a piece of scrap paper which I used for my on site notes (sketches)
- shown below . You will notice that I don't
need much in the way of site notes because I filter my visual ideas more
through my feelings than through scientific type of observations.

From my site notes above
I work up my ideas. You will note that I use very general site notes -
just enough to jog my memory. I then let my mind translate my memories
of feelings through invented forms textures and colours. |

figure. |
I am thinking of adding a top hat in one of the
hands. |

first full workup 8.5x11"

| This first workup includes many of the ideas
to date. I could see 4 of the 5 musicians but for compositional purposes
I reduced them to three. The figures in the first full workup sketch below
are just place holders for the final figures which at this stage are not
yet completely designed. |
