[Project] Sound Art Revisited

[make up project for wearable design workshop]

After completing my final project, a combination of audio and digital painting, I found sound to be a very interesting medium to work with. Continuing my exploration with classical music, I have combined a recording of my younger brother's piano playing, by which I extracted from a video, to merge it with my own playing the song "Swan Lake" by Tchaikovsky (one of my favorite classical music).

I was inspired by John Cage's 4'33" by which the audience participates in a silent music performance. The gentle noise created by the audience becomes the melody whereas in my piece, the audeince needs to concentrate and sort through the chaos to reach the melody they are familiar with. I intentionally leave the noise in to challenge the listening expereince of classical music (general perception of elegance).
