Pat Metheny

Day 70
#38 – Patrick Bruce ‘Pat’ Metheny (b.1954). American jazz guitarist and composer. Founded The Pat Metheny Group in 1977. Albums include: Bright Size Life (1975), Offramp (1982) and Secret Story (1992).

As Metheny plays the 12 string guitar I divided up the page into 12 strips. I then started exploring how to integrate the type. Listening to the music there is a sense of many instruments and overlaying harmonies emerging. I tried to reflect this with the different colours and the emerging type.
