Sonogrammophone
(Installation, 2007)
Sonogrammophone is the outcome of a study of audiovisual composition. The main goal was to create a composition that was both visually and sonically interesting. As a starting point software was developed to create images that were confined to a strict set of compositional elements. These elements were defined by the results of an earlier study of compositional visuals. Using an inverse spectrogram images were translated into sound. This process was automated and iterated to create a stack of image-sound pairs. A selection process eventually led to the final composition. The installation consists of a print (94cm x 63cm) with a connected headphone through which the sound is played.
