elms, i was on your site yesterday, and just let me say - you have some utterly superb work on there. I'm tinged bright red with jealousy.
anyway.
1, i have to say, isn't doing it for me this time - there's a little too much chaos in those lines - doesn't symbolise a tightly knit orchestra.
2, I like more this time, makes more sense with the thinner 'baton' lines and the person's positioning works well with the lighting - though, perhaps a little too much space at top and still a little intangible for the audience? (id' hope not, though)
I want to love 3 - but the weighting between the fore- and back- grounds doesn't feel right. I like the play-off between retro wallpaper, scores and soundwaves - but the thickness of the lines is a little too heavy and the photo feels almost just-plonked on there - maybe have slight 'shadowing' on the lines layer to provide some sense of depth? If i had any clue how to do it, i'd suggest trying to make those soundwave-forms less rigidly straight and flowing more, but that'd be an arse to do.
I don't like 4 - maybe it's the density of aliased lines on my monitor or the colour or the uniform complexity of the forms - not sure, but it's not working for me.
