Sound Research

"Welcome to the Resources Section. These resources provide useful information for the creation of audio games, game accessibility and background information of the industry in general."

Trapped in darkness, you must use visualized sound to guide your way through threatening environments. The sounds you create will bounce off obstacles, revealing the shape of the surrounding world. It won't be long before your only way of sensing the world attracts a horrifying evil that devours both sound and souls.

"A performative multi-channel sound installation. The research of the rightest tone, the absolute form.The experience of the abstract music composition is reconstructed by the audience through walking around, closer and past the speakers. The immateriality of the performer. The absence of their physical presence. The absence of sound. The pause. The interspace. When does silence begin?"

One of a series of animations about acoustic: Sound absorption, sound reflection, and sound transmission through building assemblies"

"With Resonance Audio, bring dynamic spatial sound into your VR, AR, gaming, or video experiences at scale."

"Commissioned by The Store X The Vinyl Factory, this site-specific iteration of Our Time is one of three works in the Other Spaces show. With a new score by electronic musician Mira Calix, this atmospheric installation aims to manipulate our experience of time. As the kinetic sculptures swing in and out of phase, they project light and sound and transform the space they occupy."

"when we are speaking about sounds, "annoying" is a subjective criteria. But there must be, one figures, some consensus on the subject. For this week's Giz Asks we reached out to a number of sound-experts to find out what that might be."

"For the design of a new facility whose mission is to empower the blind, sound played an unusually prominent role."

My work fuses the raw material of music into visual, emotional and intellectual forms by drawing with cut paper, shaping and layering positive and negative space into rhythms. The paper is meticulously cut and composed, opened and closed, with a focus on creating lines that specify coherent patterns of light and shadows on a grid, forming a visual musical structure. In essence, the paper itself becomes the instrument that draws light into visual musical patterns.

"Reverberating through the Pulitzer's iconic building, Adkins's works carry the potential of sound, and remain alluring even in silence. "

"You know that split-second lag when translating between two languages (however you define them), when meaning starts to slide into a string of unintelligible symbols? That's the space that Christine Sun Kim's artworks occupy. Her drawings use systems of information - from musical scores to infographics to emojis - to question systemic dissonances between Hearing and Deaf cultures. The results straddle the line between semantic wordplay and semiotic breakdown, evidenced in the artist's current solo exhibition titled Trauma, LOL at François Ghebaly, Los Angeles."

"Living under the paving stones, consuming our refuse, and incubating our diseases, the city rat is a ubiquitous part of global, urban capitalism. The revulsion rats inspire actually speaks of our closeness to them-rattus norvegicus burrows through the supposed human / nature divide. And just as we continually negotiate our place in a dynamic city, so have rats developed elaborate social codes intertwined with urban architecture and geography. We are not usually privy to the vocal address of one rat to another, however, as they primarily speak above the (20khz) threshold of human hearing. For Urban Intonation, I recorded rats at multiple sites on the streets of NYC with an ultrasonic microphone. I then resampled and pitch-shifted the result into the range of the human voice and mixed it for playback over a human public address system, repositioning rat noise in public space as something that is recognizable, if not intelligible, as speech.

"Hydrofeminist METitations is a listening series brought to you by Ensayos. This episode was created with students from the Nomad MFA program at the University of Hartford's Hartford Art School."

"The World According to Sound's listening series has breathed new life into stagnant stay-at-home days and given me a meditative tool for coping with ever creeping anxiety."

""Times3" is the latest work by a veteran composer, vocalist, multimedia artist and "wild virtuoso.""

"Electronic music has been around for about a century, and women (however ignored) have been a part of the movement from the beginning. Sisters With Transistors - a film with an excellent title - tells the story of electronic music's female pioneers, starting with the Lithuanian Clara Rockmore, who performed solo in the 1920s at the New York Philharmonic with a theremin, one of the very first electronic instruments. "

"New research proves that wild Savannah Sparrows can learn to sing different melodies at two ages, shedding light on critical learning periods for songbirds. Previously only seen in laboratory settings, this is the first experimental study to show the behavior in wild subjects. "

"Ambulation: to walk or move from place to place. Ambulation is a sound walk that uses field recording techniques and listening technologies to create a walking performance using environmental sound. Ambulation engages with the act of recording as an improvised performance in response to the soundscapes it is presented within.  "
