I chose the word "Metre" to represent my fictional band because by definition it's a unit of measurement for time and rhythmical patterns within poetry. Its actual meaning is: the regular arrangement of syllables in poetry according to the number and type of beats in a line.
The historical heads represent notes(beats) within a time signature (timeline). The electrocardiogram line represents the heartbeat (lifespan). The mountains in the background represent the natural composition within nature over time. I love that the mountains are on an island because it reminds me of the famous
John Donne prose which seems to fit the theme of the image...
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.”
Metre is a poem cover band that uses obscure poetry as lyrics for their songs.
Reason: To expose their beauty in an alternate form and give them new life.
I imagine them to have a haunting and ambient sound. Simplistic musical arrangements (background) to highlight the words/vocals (foreground).
