AV Systems – Sounds for images

By Ryan | Published February 6, 2011

For the first assignment in Zach Gage and Zach Lieberman’s Audio Visual Systems course, we were asked to make 1 short sound (3-5 seconds) for 9 images. I named each piece as follows:

  • image1-airplane-hanger
  • image2-bad-quilt
  • image3-space-rainbow
  • image4-charts-and-graphs
  • image5-air-gong
  • image6-laser-light-club
  • image7-bubbles-tvshow
  • image8-bricks
  • image9-fern

I tried a number of different approaches, such as creating a narrative around the image (ex. bubbles tv show), using imagery characteristics to shape the sound choices (ex. charts and graphs and brick wall) , and experimenting with different recording techniques (ex. fern).
