Plan for my final piece

3D MODEL OF MY FINAL PIECE

In my sketchbook I explained how this was how I wanted my final piece to look like. I talked about the kind of problems I would then have to face if I was going through with this design. Which was sound-proofing the building, how much it will cost and how much space it will take. I also talked about the feedback I received and the alternative I was given.

Plan for My Final Piece

This is a sketch of how I want my final piece to look like. I drew it in its exploded view so I can clearly see how I'm going to put in together. The structure is going to be made of PVC pipes because it is light, very strong and easy to connect.
I had to calculate the aveage height of a person fro the shortest to the average tallest because I want people to be able to walk into it.

Vibrations


I thought it was interesting how sound as a vibration can change an object’s state temporarily, an can cause an object to almost become animate It got me thinking of how I can animated a speaker with ball-bearings bouncing using Cinema 4d, I’m curious to see how different tracks being played affect the way that the objects move.

Visual Sound Experimentation





I began experimenting in Cinema 4d with the sounds of music that I hear. Similar to the previous work. I used the Volumiser in Cinema 4d so the shape responds to the sample music I downloaded. I wanted to generate ideas on how I can take sounds and form some sort of visual from it.

How Sound Affects Us - Negatives



The Sounds I Heard As A Child Vs Other People Around The World

























I made the poster on the right based on my childhood in London and me hearing police cars driving past my house because something happened. There was crime in the area that happened a lot and reports of gang fights and knife crime and I would see an area with police line which blocked my route to school so I had to change my route.

The design is simplistic, with the police line going along the face of the design. The pattern of circles is to represent the Doppler Effect; Which is a noticeable change in the frequency of sound, light or water waves as the source and the observer move. I experienced this sound every few months, and it made me feel a bit intimidated and scared because it happened mostly at night.

I thought about different places in the world that have it a lot worse. I thought about the places where children constantly hear bombs going of and screams of terror. These heart-breaking experiences can traumatize a child greatly.

So I thought about how I can visually present the sound of the explosions.

Submarine - Sonar

I made this as a way to show how we also use ultrasound for navigation by our use of submarines. This piece shows different frequencies of the sound.
