Inaudible Cities:Part One


Inaudible Cities:Part One

"The first in a series of short films where cities are made of and controlled by sound. In this episode, every detail of an urban landscape is built by the sonic pressures of an oncoming electrical storm. The very fabric of this isolated world is defined by the noises and frequencies that surround a space in another aural dimension. Semiconductor wrote a program which listens to the various parts of the soundtrack and constructs the animated environments."

Watching the quicktime extracts I realise that the key to making this project work is to let it be guided by exploration and experimentation and not to worry too much about the final look of the piece. Also that it could consist of a few seperate mini-pieces each with a varying feel or tone.
