Highlighting the deep sound of a Bass Brass instrument, the Tuba, makes a distinctive sound.
Uba Tuba represents the Co-Evolution of Music and Art Theory. You can see the sound. Van Gogh’s ear becomes an easily recognizable symbol that begins the journey. It is both an ear capturing music and a visual element related to modern art. The ear that listens, the ear of passion of the famous artist. The lines connecting the two main tuba shape represent the fret of an up right string Bass. The broken shape obviously cant hold any strings but no matter it is he echo of the instrument altered through the art concept of cubism that matters here. And these frets have multiple meanings as the lines to hold notes on a page as well and music wave coming out of the tubas.
The flower buttons we introduced in Jam Band, 2008. The buttons represent the tuners on the instrument but the have been released allowing for flight. The buttons harken back to the Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour.
This image ekes with sound waves everywhere. Deep Sound is obviously in the Bass range.
The name Uba Tuba comes from the sound a tuba makes.... UBAHHH...
