Visualising sound - Visual research


I will start by doing research on different existing forms that people have used to visualise sound. I am aiming to find out about as many different techniques as possible so I can experiment with different visual effects and perhaps combine my findings to create my outcome

Sound waves and vibrations

I came accross this beautiful example of visualising sound waves which is a real time video created by German artist Susi Sie. She uses sounds waves and a special powder called Lycopodium Powder  to create this insane looking film.




The way that the sound waves react with this powder is really visually impressive, it is not a typical visual you would expect to come from sound, it is a unique and impressive piece which creates both incredible stills as well as hard to believe moving image.
