I am currently looking into visualizing sound and music as part of my installation project. Whether any of my work during these couple of weeks make it into the final installation remains to be seen, but at least it serves as a sensitizing towards visual representations of sound and music.
I have found that my main focus lays with the dynamics and contrasts of any given musical piece. I try to find the “feel” of the music, through it’s dynamics, contrasts and intensity and translate this “feel” into visual representations.

As a part of my work I have made a short animation in two versions: Black on white and white on black. The two versions both inhabit the same use of dynamics and contrast, but still convey slightly different “feels”.
