The Rat - Black Sun Empire

Final Images - The Sound of the Image





A song is a composition of music, that usually contains vocal parts and musical instruments.’The sound of the Image’ looks at how the complex composition of a song can be translated into a visual composition, in particular, it looks at the dynamic sounds of drum n bass music.
Four different drum n bass songs were used as inspiration to find different contexts that related to the sounds that each song produced. Each space contained specific feelings and compositional elements which were used to emphasise the influence of each song.
Panoramic images were taken of a section at each space to capture the mood provided by that space. The visual composition of each song (produced by taking the song into audacity), was then overlayed over the panoramic images to give the final composition. This only partially reveals the image, but the details are fully exposed in the composition of the overlayed song.
