Sound Visualizations: Phase 1

Calling To The Night(Link)

Hours took for project: 1

The song starts off with a flute intro with piano. It is smooth and flows together not slow, but not fast, it gives the air of an introduction to a memory. The sort behind this song is of a war veteran loosing what little he has left, and only having memory and tragedy. A woman beings to sing, it is soft and echos. The beginning of the song sounds like the start to a story of a memory.

The flute quiets and drums and trumpets begin to sound, making the song dramatic. The woman’s singing sounds more desperate as she sings,”calling into the night…fighting for what’s right…” The song continues on with the trumpets and drums rising and falling with violin in the background giving a touch of sadness to the war-like sounds of the drums and trumpets. The song quiets towards the end and the flute is heard one last time with the woman singing in a hushed voice that slowly fades away.

This project wasn’t that bad. It taught me some aspects of photoshop, and improving my art skills. What I could have done better was being more aware of the work I’m suppose to do so that I can do them on time without hurry.

Sound Visualizations: Phase 1.

The song is smooth, but it has this deep wonderful piano sound then it gets louder, and deeper with the singing. The singing connects everything like a line. It gets deeper,  to the peak, then down and up. At certain points, the singing shows signs of getting deeper which also connects the softer points. Then it pulls a 180 with it concluding everything at the peak with it getting a little lower, then all out without overdoing it.

Even then, the deep, but smooth female voice is smooth enough without interfering with anything. The theme of the opening lyrics is equal to the strength of the singer’s singing. I can feel the images of each animation in my mind going along with the flow. The background music created from instruments also fits the flow of the song, and animation.

7-15 mins worked in total.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 3

 

The two pictures below were created by a dead bird, rock and scraps of metal. Now it was quite difficult figuring out how i would use these images and transform them in to ambiguous and stable drawings. But as you can see below I was able to work it out. Now it was easy making the images but what made it frustrating was tracing them on bristol. But it was a good experience because this project made me think and see how far my imagination can go to put what I see in my mind on paper.

Sound Visualizations: phase 1

It is like a slow motion intro with a lots of memories in it.  Then the rap hits in for more memory. The rap was cut in a sudden with soft sad voice continue with the lyrics  and repeat. It is like a smooth soft straight line at first, then the rap is like a hit that turns the line in a different direction. After the rap is ended, the line seem to be back on track with the smooth line.The lyrics was all repeating about seeing you again. This can be symbolize with a repeated image of a face.

When they look back at their pathway that they had been went through together,they saw their hard work and wanted to share the memories with each other when they meet each other again.It show that the songwriter is looking forward to being reunited with his friend.This part can be symbolize with footsteps on a pathway.As you going  in deep in the lyrics, it talk about one is wishing the other one to have the best. For example, like how he chose his way in the future, it will always lead him home.It shows that their friendship had been going hard even when one of them is not here anymore. This can be showing with a straight line, then split into many lines going different direction.

When I first listen to the song, I though was some kind of love song, but when you go deep in it, you found out that it was for memorial of Paul Walker that had been pass away.The song represent sadness after you know the story behind it.

When the song starts, it has a very gentle beginning, which I symbolized with straight lines. It then quickly escalates into a bold beat that feels like hammers on stone. This jump is what intrigues me in this song. From then, there are also vocal choirs that give the whole song a spiritual sensation. The percussion used in the song also helps to keep listeners interested in what comes next.

Then there’s the actual rapper himself. When he starts, the words he uses tend to immediately grab your attention and pull you into the beat. This also makes it feel like he is radiating a wavelength of power. He then starts to synchronize with the beat of the soundtrack and completely engulf you in the sound, like a bubble.
