Description:
The human mind processes an enormous amount of visual stimuli each and every moment, and yet from that enormous amount of data, the conscious self only notices a fraction of it. Eyesight for woodwind quartet seeks to transmit that key fraction of visual data that the brain has deemed most important from the eyes to the ears, simulating a grand ensemble sound through only four instruments.
