This project is based on research into early drawn sound techniques in musical score analysis & sound-on-film technology. For example, Daphne Oram’s Oramics, the UPIC devised by Iannis Xenakis, and Fischinger’s Ornament Sound experiments of 1932. In this research, I am investigating the potential that drawn sound technology has in an interactive context and how our senses apprehend and interpret audio-visual stimuli. I would also like to expand on methods from a traditional printmaking practice by exploring the synchronicity of audio and visual stimulus as an integrated experience and the role of drawing and gesture in emphasizing the physicality of sound. The first prototype functions as a sound synthesizer that transforms rendered imagery into sound. The system allows for participants to actively draft an improvised ‘visual score’ by applying and erasing medium on a transparent surface.
