Music
becomes garment.

ATLAS is not a decorative score placed on a shirt. The notation printed across the garment belongs to the musical composition itself — written by David Balilty with Nino Biton in 1999.

The garment

A restrained black-and-ivory silhouette gives the musical notation the central role. The score moves across the shirt as both information and visual structure.

THE SOURCE

Original score

The score of ATLAS is the source material carried onto the shirt. The viewer can move directly from reading the garment to reading the music.
