For Project 2, I utilised Ece Yavuz’s piece of vision as I felt it displayed the highest exploration of space, texture, architecture and the discordancy of the images. As this was my first piece after beginning Media, I wanted there to be a wide variation in the representation of sounds within spaces to give myself the greatest opportunity to learn and experiment. However I also wanted a degree of fluidity and succinctness. Conceptually I was drawing on the meditative experience.

 

The opening shot allowed for engagement of a syncretic relationship between vision and sound with the flashing of the exit light juxtaposed with the constant of the uv tubes ,and the openness of the space. Bright and airy sounds of the light actively pushing the audience into a form Casual listening.  However once the transition was made, the bell was chimed and the clock shifted, I experimented with introducing sounds (such as the constant Alpha wave resonating on the low end of the spectrum) whilst still exploring the notion of sound moving throughout the space.

 

Within the second scene, I was drawn into the textures present within the frame so I emptied out the atmospherics and allowed for a little ‘breathing time’ to allow for the synth pad slowly transition with its filter and play along to the ascending movement of the camera. The Synths LFOs resonating between 7-12HZ along with the Alpha wave, how much this helps the immersion of the piece is probably subjective. Finally finishing within the final pan introducing jarring gas and hot water sounds still present with the constant Alpha wave.

 

I have some reservations about this piece and how it would be received, in that I textually not enough was present although inherently apprehensive to add more (which would take away from the resonating meditative elements)  

 

I declare that in submitting all work for this assessment I have read, understood and agree to the content and expectations of the assessment declaration.
