Why is it relevant?
Role
Through the utilization of a MIDI controller, Ableton Live, and TouchDesigner, I investigated the relationship between sound and visual representation, creating dynamic, synchronized experiences. A prototype workshop provided designers with an environment to re-engage with their creativity through creation of rhythm, while an interactive installation displayed the output, incorporating sound, visuals into an immersive, multi-sensory experience.
Foundation
As part of the research, I conducted interviews with designers who have musical background, such as the author of Clubbed' the organizer of an LA underground party and creative director, and a brand designer who also attended underground raves. These sessions provided singular access to the intersection of rhythm, design, and cultural movements, the foundation of the project.
