Miles Davis’ visual data biography
Born May 26, 1926, died September 28, 1991. He would have turned 90 years young in 2016. A music phenomenon, a jazz legend.
Some paper biographies were probably published and ‘new’ album compilations were released (a deceased artist is… kind of a cash cow, you know). Besides, “A number of other projects are afoot as well, promising to add more interest to and raise his legacy higher than ever”, a quote we can read at http://www.milesdavis.com/biography/
In the mean time, we were questioning ourselves: aren’t those old school biographies outdated by now? OK, maybe not the paper copy as such, as we still should enjoy the smell and touch of paper; rather the full text artist’s career analysis some renowned music scientists can familiarise with.
What would you prefer as storytelling? A static page…
versus an interactive bio / story… Check the project here https://pudding.cool/2017/03/miles/
