we living in a new 'industrial age' is an
ARU publication (available from June).
Audio-Visual Industrialised Environments The work here is an experimental
collaboration of audio-visual or visual-audio, by Krisztián Hofstädter
(audio) and Shameela Beeloo (visual). The
visual work was created using
photographs as the primary source which were then developed to create
abstract images in which architectural shapes and forms take over. The
images are representative of the industrialised society that we live in
today, in which machines manufacture everything and humans are no
longer needed. The abstraction of the
music is symbolic
of the images. The sonification is representative of the type of
sounds, which would be heard in an industrialized environment. Low
frequencies sound the constant throb of machinery and the higher
pitched noises represent the mechanics in motion, the clanging of
metal, or fabrication process of a product.
Audio by Krisztián Hofstädter
This sonification project uses ixiQuarks’ granular synthesis. ixiQuarks
is an audio software designed for live improvisation. The front sounds
are arranged over a sound recording and an instrumental composition
from Logic Pro (a digital-audio
workstation).
The outcome is an ambient, dark and industrial sound which is a
personal translation of the images, a work of digital synaesthesia.
