“On Something”
- Interactive Sound
What is interactive sound?
When the sound interacts with the visuals.
Visuals change due to how sound is played back, the interaction between sound and visuals was interesting to learn about and is inspiration for future projects.
For example when high end frequency’s are played back changes are made to the visual top half and when low end frequency’s are played back visual changes are made to the lower half.
Socially Engaged
Series of work in which involved heavy topics being covered for example many hospitalised patiants shared their story’s though the art of sound.
Think as if you went to a set, there would be a chair to sit and a screen in-front to watch with a speaker above. You would watch a still shot video of the patent as they stair into the lens, no audio. A recording would play though the speaker above of the patents story they have to tell.
The contrast between the still shot patient and the hard hitting story they would tell was an extremely powerful piece of art.

Instillation Work
“attune yourself to a space sonically and physically”
Different microphone placements and instrumentation playback in different parts of a space create the art, it gives the piece life like how an album or a song is so special because of the tone in audio playback because of the artist unevenness in voice at the time or tone in instrumentation.
Beat Frequency’s
John broth up what beat frequency is and how it can be used in your own art.
What’s Beat Frequency?
Its 2 wave forms, when out of sync with each other the result is silence as they cancel each other out. When 2 wave forms are perfectly in phase you get the same sound but louder.
With manipulation of waves you can powerfully change pitch of audio and metaphorically adds swelling of audio to a piece of art.
