Sound Design
in Motion
- Think in 3D 3D representation of sonic material, and use spatial tools like positioning and rotation in continuous transformations.
- Sonic Texture Architecture Built in a non-gravitational space and physical realm, the kinetic interaction of its elements and triggering of sonic events.
- Sound in Motion Here, the sound has no separate existence from space, time and motion. It is the result of a causal and visual narrative in motion.
- Particles to Concrete Objects Transmitters sending particles or beams of light to trigger sonic events down to granular level with kinematic precision.
- Scene Transitions Capture different scene organizations and animate continuous sequences / transformations between them.
