Personal direction 22.11

-In the mapping process, I found that there is a connection between the sound of arriving /departing train and the density of people crossing the bridge.

-Volume is the parameter I’m researching

-Schematic and 2 dimensions models of the space

-Wide sections of the tunnel (bridge) can help me better understanding all the motion and how it’s changing according to the sound.

-With the help of sound editing program I can get the image of the sound at every moment I see as necessary to my work.

-I was referred to read 2 texts: “How Music Moves: Musical Parameters and Listeners’ Images of Motion” by Zohar Eitan and Roni Y. Granot.
The second text: “Music from Motion: Sound Level Envelopes of Tones Expressing Human Locomotion”.

Personal directions-15/11/09

- choosing point of view, that allows me to see the bridge itself and also the staircase   that lead to the train platform.

- from the chosen point, I should document the space: the transformation that is taking place, whenever people here/see the train, whether it’s coming or leaving the platform.  

- observation of people reaction, motions, speed and velocity. Understanding the different density of the space, and what triggers it. How the sound of the train, the announcer, or even both of them, influence spreading of people in the given space.

- which parameters are constant/changing and so on.

-producing digital simulation of human reaction to the phenomenon, that is mentioned above.

Etude #2

The “language” already existed on the video: “Rhythm”.

The fingers create the visualization of the sound. By filling the fingers image in black color, I can understand the space that appears during the time I’m listening to the sound.

If the whole canvas filled in black or most of it, than you can understand that the sound is very close to you and it’s volume is very high, and it’s opposite is a calm situation. 

When there is a change in the sound, for example the sound of the horn, can be translated into the changed image in the motion of fingers.

Etude #2

I divided my sound to 4 main categories:

 

1) Tension that is build slowly, step by step. The idea came up from the sound of the train wheels at the beginning of the original sound. I tried to represent this tension by some materials-and the one that came to my mind was of a soft surface.

 

2) The second emotion was to “rebuild” the sound of the train horn by physical materials. (that appears in the middle of the sound). When you are listening to the whole sound, you might get the feeling that this horn is like an obstacle in the sound, it’s not belong there. There for I began thinking about something radical – like thorn and spines.

 

3) The third section was inspired by the high sound of the approaching train. The sound of the wheels was more intense then in the first section. It sounded rougher and aggressive.  

 

4) The final section begins when the train is passing you by. Because of the previous interpretations, one might feel a relive. The train passed by and there is no more real danger. The material that I choose to describe this was a clean and sleek sheet.
