Drawn-Sound
2019

Sonorities of Light is an artistic research project on optical sound developed in collaboration with the Information and Memory Center Department of the São Paulo Museum of Sound and Image (MIS). The working process included four sessions on the moviola provided by the museum and under supervision of the technical team. The purpose is to ivestigate sound as synthesized by light and graphic information and to question some aspects of contemporary artistic processes of sound production that we tend to take for granted. Sound-shaping, in this process, becomes a process of immersing oneself in the morphological features of the graphical language. The outcome is a sound collage that wants to revive the acousmatic experience under the theories of musique concrète and a scientific article that provides an analytical framework regarding the associations of certain shapes to certain sounds.
