The Ninth

TheNinth

Tools: Paint Shop Pro 5, Xenofex, Kai's Power Tools 3, lots of freehand

For this image, I listened to Beethovan's Ninth Symphony and permitted the music to determine what would emerge on the "canvas." I began with a complex gradient and used Xenofex's Shower Door effect to produce the torn-paper collage impression. Then I separated it into a few layers and did a bunch of little things here and there as the music played on. I'm not sure it "resembles" Beethovan's fine work, but I must admit I like it, either way.
