Sound Visualization: Phase 2

Sound Visualizations : Phase 3

 

This project involved many elements. There was sound, and how we imagined it with the help of lines, shapes, rhythm and repetition. The position and scaling and repetition  of each image helped with forming a balanced Mashup of Legato and Staccato figures. I learned Legato an Staccato are a form of sounds. Staccato being separated from each other and Legato a long steady consistent flow. I also used Photoshop, to animate my composition, to create movement to the different forms of sounds added in the animation.  With the next project, I’ll feel a lot more confident working with Photoshop.  I enjoyed watching my hand draw creation come to life on the screen.

This part of the project was a bit of an adventure for me. After using the version at school and syncing it to a newer version at home my work became corrupted. I was unable to use the work I hard started in class and had to start all over from the beginning. It wasn’t as challenging as I assumed it would be. I learned new techniques on Photoshop, a software that seemed to intimidate me at the beginning. The animation to my composition brought my work to life. An created a visual story between all the elements formed within the Legato/Staccato mashup.  I used the pan motion and and rotated the elements that needed more attention due to its size or position. I also faded all the elements and used high and low opacity  not to lose some of the elements as they panned up, down or across.

 

7+ hours  I worked on this project

Sound Visualization: Phase 1

My song of choice was a very smooth and flowing song that breaks off into other smoth sections that seemingly glide along a track and doesn’t jump around. While listening to the song I felt as if I was falling into a trance and that’s what I tried to capture with the line that I drew and you can see it’s a very open and flowing line with swirls that drift off but stil remains a part of the the main line. Overall the song was very calming and kept a steady beat.
