The past few weeks have been spent thinking of ways to incorporate weaving into my project. It sprung many creative ideas, the main struggle seems to be transferring them into sound.
Although I was set onto basing my project on Romanian traditional practices, I recently came across an Iranian custom known by the name of Nagshe Khani (Pattern Singing).
Weavers sing the patterns they are working on to each other as a means to keep entertained while working. There does not seem to be any other functionality nor any other practical reasons.
Does the carpet pattern in this case become a sort of graphic score?
