The final piece will be reprocessed visually through a set of design criteria determined by Jasio. This process, along with other techniques, resulted in a form that starts simple, approaches entropy, and then returns to its original simplicity. The speed of the sequence was based on an LFO with a variable rate rather than BPM. The piece includes three layers of sequences that slowly speed up and vary in pitch and then slow down again. The image above is spectral analysis of a piece of music that I composed deliberately to produce interesting sonic and visual forms. For now I’d like to present some of the content that I generated in the process of working on the project. I’ll share more information about the exhibit in a future post. Recently I have been working on a new piece in collaboration with Jasio Stefanski for an upcoming exhibition of his work.
#PHOTOSOUNDER SERIES#
Part music, part visual art, and part sound design, the collaborative series Spectral Tablature is something I’ve been doing in various forms since 2013. When sonified the plotted design singles out the portamento, isolating it from the context of the sustained frequencies. The output visually reinterprets the angles informed by the gliding notes without connecting them in the composition. The visuals were composed to place emphasis on the “transitions” or portamento.
Jasio’s Reprise is based on form and color values as opposed to acoustic accuracy. The video shows the plotter rendering Jasio’s Reprise of the work shown/heard in the image/audio below.
Jasio requested that we included diagonal lines in the piece so I used linear portamento on the Moog Sub 37 to create the “transitions” he was interested in seeing. To create the work I started by composing a simple sequence of notes that speed up and then slow down. The second piece is a new work in the series titled Synthetic Transitions. The first piece is Synthetic Skyline previously exhibited for the Audible Edge sound art exhibition at the Katherine Nash Gallery in Minneapolis. Jasio is showing a variety of his work including two pieces that we collaborated on together fron the series Spectral Tablature. I am pleased to be participating in an exhibition of work by Jasio Stefanski at Print Gallery in Tokyo, Japan.
