Messy Leftovers

I decided to attempt traditional calligraphy. Turns out that doing calligraphy is difficult. Really difficult. However the process I found to be complex and exciting. When I was finished with my attempt, I kept the sheet I was working on top of to scan. 

The scan gives a sense of self satisfaction so I decided I wanted to create something visual with it. Playing around with the image in Photoshop I thought it would be fun to implement a musical score that represented my process. I picked Johannes Brahms - Hungarian Dance No. 5. This classical piece is inspired by Hungarian folk music and gives a sense of fun and chaos.
