I thought that this film had some really interesting arguments regarding the problems with using sonification to express data and suggesting that this is the sound of an object. But this is exactly why I want to use it in this film, I want to give an artists impression of gravity, radiation etc. as experienced by the character in one of the only ways that can be represented on film, sound or vision.
In space no one can hear you scream.
Alien, Ridley Scott. (1979).
As the visual language is already fairly developed, there would be no sound to record in space so music inspired by, even driven by these phenomena seems like an appropriate way to deepen the immersion of the experience. As I have looked at in my visual development this is not about reality but rather an interpretation of it as experienced by the character that I am creating.
I am starting to experiment with using different data sources to drive different instruments, similar to the way the plant music was created by different plants playing different instruments.
- Gravity on base synth
- Magnetism on rhythm
- High energy particles on sound effects.
