Space Image and Sound. Pitch and other plans
So far I am still struggling with a solid concept or an exact idea which I would like to follow through with. I have however seen a few things which have interested me very much. Those include the following links.

The reason I enjoy this is due to the way the sound and the colour seem to be directly based on how they interchange and fade into the next colour/sound. I would be very interested into looking into something similar to this and exploring how I could use those colours with very distinct sounds which could seem to have little to no relation together, to possibly creating some form of soundscape and possibly a photo or picture when it is put together.

I really am really interested in the way this is is shot so that there always seems to be two separate stories going on next to each other, and with the narration over the top which seems to be able to relate to either of the films, I find that very interesting. I wouldn’t think I would like to base my project on this but I would be very interested in using aspects of this in my final product. However I would like to point out that I enjoy the idea of challenging an audience by using objects or sounds in a way they aren’t used for. I would prefer to create something which uses these elements however at the end completely makes the audience feel like challenging what they see and/or hear. Something similar to the wall of speakers and lights that blast you when you walk past them.
As a final thought and something which has interested me over the holidays, I got into a T.V. show which used a very unique way of narrating. It used the narration as part of the story due to the main protagonist being crazy, so you, as the audience are the protagonists imaginary friend. Everything they say to you is being heard by other voices in his head. Link can be found below.

So, with that being my pitch, I have been shown a bunch of different people who have done work similar or just had ideas which I can draw inspiration from. I would say that I am most excited looking into the image and how I could change how that would work together with the sound to create a more distorted overall piece, along with possibly changing what the audience could see based on how they interact with it. So far, I have thought about looking into the lighthouse on the waterfront when I get a chance, as well as looking at the light festival going on in the domain at the moment. So more on those hopefully a bit later.
So from what Clint has given me so far, I am mostly interested in the “Zen for TV” and maybe putting sound into the video input of a CRT screen. Those both seem like very fun things. The former of the two being seen below (with added interest of magnets).
I am also quiet interested in what I found while looking for this, which was a musical instrument which had video cameras looking at it and playing the recordings above it. Looking into how I could maybe use this with a mix of an instrument, the “zen for TV” and possibly some form of distorting sound. Might look more into this at some point.
Finally, I find Yasunao Tone’s glitch music extremely fun. Not because I would like to listen to it but because it is so distorting and harsh with no structure at all. I would like to look into this further as well, and investigate how I could use this, maybe with the image seen above, or maybe in another way, to create a distorting but immersive experience for people. I am unsure where this will lead at the moment, but the more I think about it, the more excited I get. So hopefully more updates soon. I leave you with the sweet melodies of Yasunao Tone.
