SAMPLING MUSIC
Here on the left hand side of the page is an introduction to the typography piece that i will use for the first exhibition on manchester subcultures. My work will be focused on abstracting the style and attitude from combined influences of manchester music scene and manchester based band lyrics. The band lyrics have been carefully selected so that i could combine them to flow a bit like in the form of a poem. I'm trying to some how express Mancunian attitude through one of the sole influences of the city's style, music.

"The Hacienda was like a Fairground ride with a machine in the middle bringing us back down to Earth. In the end, nobody can beat reality" Steve Coogan playing Tony Wilson in the film '24 Hour Party People'
I feel like this idea, combining fairground art typography with manchester style and attitude is too slap dash. I cannot decide if this quote is relevant enough... maybe i just need to simplify everything.
