Project Brief: Related quotes

Interaction in the perception ("process of attaining awareness or understanding of sensoryinformation ") and cognition ("understanding and trying to make sense of the world") of musical beats and visual beats.

"Beats are the
periodic and repeating fluctuations heard in the intensity of a sound when two sound waves of very similar frequencies interfere with one another."

"Music is a complex organization of sounds harmonizing together to produce a single composition. Similarly,
architecture is a complex yet harmonious organization of space."

"My goal was to explore the physiological (
the compositional) and the psychological (the emotional) implications of designing space around aural perceptions to create a harmonized environment."

"SOUND HAS PHYSICAL SIZE, DIMENSIONS, DENSITY, VIBRANCY, RHYTHMS AND TEXTURES." -BRANDON LABELLE

"THE IDEA IS TO CREATE A WORLD FOR THE AUDIENCE TO ENTER WHERE ARCHITECTURE MAGNIFIES THE EXPRESSIVE DIMENSIONS OF MUSIC AND SOUND."
-ELIZABETH MARTIN

"THE RESULT IS NEITHER PURELY MUSICAL NOR ARCHITECTURAL, BUT A
HYBRID THAT FALLS BETWEEN THE TWO DISCIPLINES."
-ELIZABETH MARTIN

"A moving image is a signal that continuosly change in time. More than forms, figures and volumes, it is made of
dimensions, frequencies, intensities. On a digital medium image and sound share the same substance: electronic coded impulses."

"A new kind of connection is emerging. Now it is possible to create
interactions, driven by mathematical rules, between the audible and the visible media in a way that erodes the barrier between the two fields of sound and image."

"The composer chooses a body of
raw materials (in this case, the bass line that implies melody, harmony, rhythm and gesture), and deepens the understanding of that material by exaggerating, expanding, coloring, limiting, twisting, breaking or reframing the original material, in a series of ordered sequences."
