Painting with sound
The artist I chose one of my favorite artists, "The Piano King" Sofiane Pamart, and more specifically, his album Noche (Night), which has been very special to me during some dark times.
I feel that an x-ray is a perfect representation of revealing what is hidden, in this case, revealing light in the darkness—a scan of emotions that are present but perhaps locked away or imperceptible to others.
Process To create the pieces, I used my favorite song from the album, Miedo, and mapped the music's loudness and frequency to the speed and vibration of the particles. Also, I made some transformations to the Chladni patterns and used layers of two colors to create more complex overlays and compositions.
Then, I spent hours and hours trying to notice some good patterns that could be combined, et voilá, I’m so happy with the result!
