TOP AND FIRST LEFT - H.S.Williamson
I knew as an artist and designer. Such was his passion for for music that
he was responsible for this wonderful booklet produced by the Sylvan Press,
c1960 and printed in lithography by Cowell's of Ipswich. It provided in
sequence a clear and devoted account of the sheer excitement when an orchestra
take up its instruments to play. On p.3 he has devised a diagrammatic
representation of patterns in sound and vision of the Orchestral playing.
It is as visual and clear as anything by the pioneer of visual representations
of music Oskar Fischinger.
