Sound Visualizations: Phase 1

The song I chose for this project is “Black Star” by The Faceless. The song starts up with heavy snare hits and a staccato style riff that is is repeated for different verses within the song. The Faceless are a death metal/ prog band from LA that encompasses legato and staccato playing to give their songs depth and diversity for droned out tranquil atmosphere yet hellish speedy breakdowns.

While interpreting the sounds, I envisioned circles, loops (which identify  their legato moments that stem from the bass and guitar)  and a lot of straight geometric lines (which identify their drum patterns and even rhythmic guitar patterns) fusing to create the uproar that is Black Star.

    While listening to the song I was really interested with the beat, their could have been a few different ways to interpret the visual design. However I pictured more of a legato movement.
