London Living

I've been working on transcribing more text to drum tab, specifically Sylvia Plath's Ariel along with Shakespeare's A Fairy Song as well as one that I had written. I just used the first 10 lines or so for comparison.
So far I have put the words where you would find the representation of the drum piece you are meant to be hitting.

Every noun has become a snare beat, an adjective is allocated to the bass drum, verb - hi-hat, pronoun - ride cymbal, preposition - crash, conjunction - floor tom and adverb - the mid tom.

First I had each word colour coordinated with it's drum counterpart



















Then I gave each author his/her own colour.
