"For an image maker today this ability to be able to visualise what is not always tangible will help you produce work which conveys mood, pace and contrast and will help others to understand what they hear. Also the ability to hand make not only images but objects is a skill you need to develop."

Final Outcome

A hand-held device imposes minimal constraints on, and can be designed to be sensitive to the kinds of physical gestures storytellers typically make with other hand-held props or instruments or when their hands are free. 

Sounds might be generated vocally, with physical gesture, or with a sound-making device which could be anything from a staff to a percussion or musical instrument.  

One of the most challenging aspects of integrating a sound rig into the storytelling performance is the interaction design

Matthew DiVito

Matthew DiVito is a motion graphic designer, his work has a regular theme of geometric objects and formats, as shapes and colour plays a vital role in his work. As all of his work has been computer generated, the effects and movements throughout each gif runs smoothly and works effectively. I feel that when added sound his gifs could be vital in visually describing and prescient get emotion in to which the sound would be created.

Martin Klimas is known for using high-speed-camera technology to capture processes that might otherwise escape the naked eye. He has fired projectiles into fruits and vegetables and photographed their exploding flesh, and shattered ceramic figures and delicate flowers to capture their thousands of dispersing shards in midair. In recent years, Klimas has devoted himself to exploring visual representations of sound.

Guide to dropping ink into water.

Starting with water drop photography is fairly easy, you need nothing more than a camera and a way to make drops. As with any craft, when you’ve exhausted the equipment you are using you can get more equipment and take it to the next level. Bear in mind, though that some of those amazing images were shot with nothing more than a camera and a tripod.

2007, as a repertoire-based ensemble using mobile phones as the primary instrument, was intended to further these concepts as well as explore new possibilities. The increas- ing computational power of mobile phones has allowed for sound synthesis without the aid of an external computer. In fact, mobile phones have come to be regarded more as “small computers” with PC-like functionality than as sim- ply phones with augmented features.

INK Animation

The first thing you will need to take care of is creating the drops. I started out photographing water drops using a turkey baster, which has a large drop, but is unstable and hard to control. 

As I progressed, my main dropper became a medicine dropper which had a softer bulb and was more suitable for controlling the pressure for releasing drops. 

The dropper was very well taped to a sturdy board so that it wouldn’t move position when drops were released. I used the timer on the camera to open the shutter in 5 seconds. Just before the shutter opened I would release at least two drops in quick succession (about 7 – 10 per second). 

The height of the distance between the tip of the dropper and the water level varies to control the shape and impact of the drops. I use anywhere between 30 and 60 cm.

Cornelius Cardew: Treatise

Treatise is a graphic musical score comprising 193 pages of lines, symbols, and various geometric or abstract shapes that eschew conventional musical notation. Implicit in the title is a reference to the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, which was of particular inspiration to Cardew in composing the work. The score neither contains nor is accompanied by any explicit instruction to the performers in how to perform the work. Cardew worked on the composition from 1963 to 1967.

Alberto Seveso is an Italian artist specializing in illustration, graphic design and photography. Born in Milan, Seveso currently lives and works as a freelance artst from his hometown of Portoscuso, Sardinia, Italy. Alberto’s artistic passion grew from an early fascination with skateboard deck graphics and album artwork for metal bands.

I always set it to release two drops. Even in the three drop splashes, the third drop is a result of the drip valve not closing fast enough when it’s set for large drops. These three drop splashes are done with a short interval between drops, a large drop size and the flash lag is variable to get this splash in various stages of the splash. 

It takes a lot of tweaking of the settings to get to the three drop splash. One of the problems with the larger drops is that the second one quite often falls slightly off center causing the crown to be tilted. I simply keep shooting until I get a horizontal one.

Positioning of the flash guns vary with the type of lighting I want. Usually I have both behind the drop, one higher than the other to cover the surface of the water tray.

Directly behind the water tray, I use acid-etched glass with some extra plastic sheets to use as a light diffuser. This gives a nice soft overall light on the surface of the water and will result in a good reflection.
