Test 1

Brief Title

After lots of different variations of the brief, I have decided to look at the how visuals can be used to portray music. I have chosen to look at Noise music, and how its non-conformist approach to sound can be translated into moving images and sound.

Noise Music

Noise music is a form of sound art that chooses not to conform to the usual aspects of what we know as music. Distortion and non-linear spontaneous sounds are what are achieved through noise music.

I have decided to base my project on this form of music, as it will allow me to not conform to the stereotypes of what art should be. In a sense, I want to create a metaphysical piece of work that highlights the interesting aspects of what animated art can be.

Here is an example of noise music by a noise artist called Merzbow.

Fractal animation


This animation is effectively zooming into an image which changes. I don like the effect, but want to have more moving aspects in my final outcome.

Fractal Art and animation



Fractal Art was recommended to me to research, but I feel its too calculated and lacks the spontaneity the hand is only capable of producing. I do enjoy looking at it, but its not something I want to pursue in this project.

From looking at the art, I will definitely be taking the surreal and colour aspects used in Fractal art.
