This year, Miles Davis would have turned 90 years old. 25 years after his death, he’s still synonymous with Jazz, but you can find his fingerprints on so many other ideas.
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In the mean time, we were questioning ourselves: aren’t those old school biographies outdated by now?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/
