Abstract
I took the Sufjan Stevens album, Illinois, and created information graphics from different aspects of the music. This project is an experiment in taking an audio recording of music that is beautiful and personally meaningful to many listeners, deconstructing it from different vantage points, rearranging it, and building it up again into visual interpretations. This project visualizes lyrics, instrumentation, notes, patterns and word usage.
