SYSTEM OF A DOWN & THE WEEKND OUTCOMES

scans of sketchbook to show development

Today i spent time digitalising my experiments and creating various outcomes.

Incorporating the different designs together allowed me to visualize a composition with multiple instruments in one. I experimented with layering and placement to see which layouts worked well and which did not.

These outcomes did not show enough understanding for sounds and chords. Every chord has a different sound and it is important that the visuals acknowledge this. I noticed these designs are to repetitive as there should be a continuous change in visuals, which makes them seem less interesting. More has to happen in these compositions for them to show a true visual experience of music.
In order to move forward i must now create designs which show a diverse range of sounds; by isolating instruments and creating more visuals, and constructing a design which can mould all of these designs into one.

DEATH BY NUMBERS - Drum Kit Pattern Experimentation's

Today I experimented using mark making to create visuals for the drum pattern. HI HAT SNARE DRUM BASS DRUM

DEATH BY NUMBERS: MAP DESIGN

I had been given feedback on this design outcome, which was to look into creating a sequence as its much clearer and relates to music and notations. Also to consider the scale and general composition and how it would be presented. Whether it would be a good out map, or a large map stuck on the wall. This feedback was essential as it assisted my understanding for format and composition, and designing an outcome which fufill the main objective or some how supports it. After been given feedback for this design I began to work on my designs in a different composition, and working on a way of putting my individual outcomes into a sequence.

Optical Illusions and patterns

I decided to look into optical illusions as it enables the human eye to visualize something 2D move as if it is 3D. I want to incorporate the art of illusion into my pieces to create animations out of paintings. As i researched into optical illusions i began to realise that they consisted of quite basic lines patterns and shapes which I felt could well represent frequency and flow in music. Exploring illusions also allowed me to understand structure in which i could incorporate in my designs. With lines being more prominent than others in optical illusions and shapes being larger it displays the use of hierarchy, which i can relate to the instrumentation and structures of music. David Szakaly I decided to look into the designer David Szakaly, as he uses shape and form to create these smooth transitioned, illusion like gifs. I was very interested in how the shapes morphed, it reminded me of music visualiser in a sense of capturing the movement of the sound...
