Turning starling pictures into a musical score

Artist Kathy Hinde explores the idea of using a picture as a musical score in the work called Music Box Migrations. Images of birds, bird migration patterns and maps are printed directly onto strips of card. Holes are punched according to chosen points on the images or map and these holes trigger notes when the score is wound through a music box – creating a melody.
