Sound must come on the blog, ASAP.
A collection of edited bytes as a video is the only way I can think of posting it to the blog.
As for its meaning:
The sound means quite little if there is no one present to trigger the playback, and that is of enormous importance to me. I believe that the installation should remain silent if no viewers are present--why waste a message on plain air? Thinking more about this, it's the travel of the viewer through the installation that gives it life.
The images are quite beautiful and can stand by themselves, however, the passage of the viewer through the collection, which right now is envisioned as three "enclaves" of three images as seen above, sets off the sound. In composing the raw materials, I'm wondering if the sound composition should transform on the byte or if a signal from another source should start other sound playback. I want the viewer to sense the sound's transformation and not instead witness a chaos of noise because too much is going on.

Just sound is easily done. There are nice Flash players that work well, pretty intuitive. Check out John Bullitt's site for examples: http://www.jtbullitt.com/smallsounds/
ReplyDeleteI should have said, relatively easily. But I think you can get plug-ins that will work on Blogger....
