Sound Studies is interactive software that translates sound into simple imagery. Unlike most of the work in this collection, Sound Studies is completely in black and white and virtually ignores the elements of shape and form in favor of frequency. The vibrating movements of sound are visualized on the screen as an extension of the aural experience, which intensifies the viewer’s perception of the sound. Where other works of visual music might seem to allow the audience to listen with their eyes, this piece permits them to see with their ears.
