Sound Design and Music for an Experimental Animation

Fusion is an audiovisual collaboration with Tuomas Tuomiranta, combining real-time animation data from Processing with generative sound created in Max.

Fusion is a collaboration with Tuomas Tuomiranta, who created the animation using Processing. Real-time data from the animation was sent to Max via OSC, where I generated the sound using that data. I produced several audio interpretations and composed the final sound design from these renders to match and enhance the animation’s dynamic flow.

The foundation of the soundtrack is derived from the actual colors and their frequencies, translated directly into sound. Additionally, the evolving properties of the animation elements were used to modulate and shape the audio, creating a seamless integration between image and sound.

Shortly after our collaboration began, an opportunity arose to exhibit the piece. Fusion premiered at Flash Vallisaari on September 21, 2018.
