Welcome 2009 typographers!

I hope you are working on your typographical part of the assignment.
My recommendation to all of the students is to choose a very neutral generic typeface and design the rhythmical structure of the words as they are sung, synchronistically with the right measures of the musical time. That is a very difficult task and the core of this very experimental assignment. That is really a transcribing of oral tradition. As soon as you layout the whole text, find an interesting and inventive way to capture the rhythm with typography, only then you can start thinking about different typefaces to use. Generic typefaces will give you more freedom of rhythm for now.
Please, don't mix two compositions (lyrics and visual music). We are going to look only on your typographical solutions.

The typographical layout is due this week.
