Bill Frisell
Day 31
#79 – William Richard ‘Bill’ Frisell (b.1951). American guitarist, composer and arranger. Albums include: Have a Little Faith (1992), Blues Dream (2001) and History, Mystery (2008).
Whilst researching I came across this quote: “Bill Frisell is the Clark Kent of the electric guitar. Soft-spoken and self-effacing in conversation, he apparently breathes in lungfuls of raw fire when he straps on his (guitar)...”. I liked this idea of someone who changes and comes alive when playing music and started to look at maybe splitting the screen. I noticed that the name ‘Bill’ could also be split which fitted well with the split page. The image of fire suggested the colour scheme at the top. I added the lines pattern to suggest the playfulness in the music and also to suggest the guitar strings.
