This is the first piece in a series of lettering related art projects by Joseph Alessio and I'm excited to see more! There are in progress shots and a video if you click through to the nascent project. Joseph references this beautiful Plato quote:
[Music] gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just, and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form.
