Visualising Sound

This lecture looked at sound as a basis for visual communication. the point of this lecture was to start to introduce us to the new project brief and inspire us when starting the new project. Our project brief was:

"Each week you will be supplied a short section of music to respond to. You have a wide scope of processes and approaches to experiment with. This is a good opportunity to apply and further develop your skills and critical and creative thinking gained through the process workshops, and workshop week and previous studio brief. In addition, you are encouraged to think beyond purely digital work. There is plenty of scope for traditional processes across both print and animation. You may consider photography, illustration, video or physical 3D or 2.5D construction." 

I felt that i was going to struggle with the new brief , this was because we had such limited time to produce as many pieces. I had to keep my ideas short and fast , with not much time to refine them in further detail. my main point of focus was to not get stuck on one design and let the rest slip as the most important thing was experimentation.

We were introduced to the earliest know visual piece of sound , this was known as the hurrmian hymn 6 . this hymn dates back to 1400 B.C.E the piece was discovered in the 1960's in the ruins of a palace in Ugarit. there were 29 musical texts found at the time of its discovery. there was no chronological order of the texts therefore the numbers after the hymn were not relevant to the time they were written.
