If you could see music, what would it look like? More than symbols on pages of sheet music, more than words on a lyric sheet, music is the spring in one’s step, the beating of the heart, the creatures that come to life beneath closed eyelids, and thoughts screaming in the head.
In “Museo,” a music and art collaboration between Pintô Art Museum and Filipino indie singer, rapper, and songwriter Curtismith, better known as Mito Fabie, with music produced by creative music label Pool Records, the music takes on a tangible, tactile, touchable form that arrests the eye as much as it engages the ear.
