Major Project

In case you havent realised what the project is yet, here it is

Visualizing Sound / music

My aim is explore the relationship between sound/music and visuals.

Music has been an integral part of society for thousands of years, man has also associated images with the rhythms and beats through many forms, mediums such as dance, painting, costume, architecture, photography and film have been used to express the emotions felt whilst listening to the beats of a drum or the delicate notes from a flute. Painters such as Kandinsky, animators like Norman McLaren and film director David lynch have had a fascination with the blending and creation of visuals based on sound and music, not forgeting the more mainstream music videos and Video Jockeys in nightclubs who live sample visuals and display them to the rhythm immersed audience.
My intention is look into the history of visualizing music (animation, painting, graphics, film, vjiing, music videos etc) and to create a range of visual experiments that will lead up to a short film / motion graphic piece that will visually express the accompanying music/sound.
The project explores the design fields of motion graphics and film.

Objectives
Explore and analysis the history of this medium
Experiment and create a series of pieces in reference to the research and through ideas generated for the brief.
Create a final short film ( or possibly an interactive piece ) that realizes my research and ideas development.
