Synesthesia and Cymatics

I find synesthesia to be interesting because the relating something such as the number 6 looking like it's green is peculiar. From what I can tell, interpretations of the number 6 will vary from person to person. One synesthesiac might see it being blue instead of green, and another will say it smells like lavender and is purple. I sometimes view things in this way, but only with songs. I tend to associate the sound of music with different seasons. Such as "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga always sounded like the season of Winter to me while "Lust for Life" sounds like Summer. Cymatics are a phenomenon in which sound takes form visually. I have never heard of cymatics before this class, but it makes sense that frequencies have their own personal patterns like snowflakes. The noise that the is made in creating these images can be obnoxious though, such as the mushroom video watched in class. I can't see myself delving into this kind of art because I have a low tole...

Sounds of My Surroundings

I was excited to "hear" (get it!?) that one of our assignments this week was listening to the surroundings.

The swish swash of the water adjacent to my body grew louder and louder as the tide rolled in. A loud buzz passed by from a coast guard truck disrupted the natural sound for an instance. Strong gusts of wind blasted my ear throughout the violent waves, and I could not help but feel I wa...

Balazs' Article

Balazs' article tackles the differing sounds employed in film. The aspect of this article that stuck out to me the most was the description of silence having it's sound from the space. This concept of silence is something to feel as we experience the foreground coming into the front of our senses.  Asynchronous sound, or off-screen sound, is another part of film I find important. The idea of introducing a cohesive mood through the integration of varying sounds is something I always do when editing videos. It's a simple idea that can tie a scene together. This method is cost efficient as well, since the implication that something is there can make up enough for not having it on the screen.
