Would anyone be interested in a challenge that would involve everyone creating an image inspired by the same piece of music?
I could envision it being a monthly challenge with people taking turns choosing the music for the month.
For example, here are a couple of images I created for P52 projects that were inspired by music (the assignment was to create a CD cover for a string quartet playing specific pieces of music).
This one was for Barber's String Quartet, op. 11.

This one was for George Crumb's Black Angels.

The music could be any genre with the only limitation being that it has to be something that everyone would have access to. The images wouldn't need to illustrate the music (though that would be fine to do)...they might only be inspired by the music. For instance if you're out driving and listening to Muse and see an awesome landscape that suits the mood, that could be fine, right? Or maybe listening to AWOLNATION's "Sail" makes you want to go photograph dirt bikers or something. Doesn't matter--any subject would be fair game.
This kind of a challenge has been kicking around in my head for awhile...and then I thought, "we really have to do this!" after I saw this music video by Disturbed:
The video was directed by Matt Mahurin, who is a wonderful photographer. And you can tell, can't you? The video seems very informed by still photography. Powerful images, and they fit the music so well!
So...what do you think? Anyone interested in doing something like this? Other ideas for how a challenge like this might look?
