Visualising sound - design development

From the feedback I received from the initial ideas I produced I then tried to illustrate some actually structured and mathematically correct responses.

The first response is meant to work as a continuous revolving piece, it obviously wouldn't physically  revolve on the printed outcome but the structure i have created can be followed and fits into 360 degrees.

each layer of this pattern represents a different voice on the drum kit.

Outer - Hi Hats and other cymbals
1st inner - bass drum
2nd inner - main snare back beats
Center - snare ghost notes / drags


The structure of this design works to successfully represent the pattern of the drum beat but I am not really a fan of how it fits together but i will try to digitize these ideas and play around with how they will fit together on a poster, which can then be applied to 2 other songs but still work as a series.


Next, I tried to play around with different ways of presenting the actual drum pattern in a visually interesting way, these shapes used, will not be set in stone but I am trying to for some form of understanding of how I would fit it together.

The repetition of certain shapes will provide consistency for the piece.


I then tried to apply this to a hand rendered A2 sheet to see possibly how it would work as an actual poster, this gave me a few ideas that i will be able to apply to the design once it is digitized.
