I discovered through countless hours of watching animated content that I became too comfortable with letting animation be story-driven, rather than exploring the motion behind the work. Because of this realization, and feeling a loss for not utilizing my history of musical performance, I decided to find an intersection between audio and visuals; creating a new way to utilize animation, computer vision, and visual-programming, as a method to create music.

With my interests in animation and music, I decided to focus my time on a method to allow the visually-inclined artist to utilize animated motion as a means to generate audio. The work is called a Visual-Audioizer, a tool that I coded to read, interpolate, and elucidate audio from visual input. Inside the enclosed space, an area to sit/stand and reflect upon a series of animated experiments utilizing the tool itself. Audience members are welcome to come/go as they please into the space, and interact with the tool at their own discretion. The goal of this research, and the exhibit, is to consider traditional frame-by-frame animation methods as an instrument for musical expression.
