elaine longtemps music The rules of each art are interchangeable.--Emerson The music series developed in the 1970's out of a need to solve a conflict between my piano and my painting. The solution was a combination of disciplines. I was influenced by the book Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid (Douglas R. Hofstadter). I created a grid method of music notation from which developed all my work through the 80's and 90's, including earlier pieces in my America Homeland Series. Photography by Sean Longtemps
