Studies

This page is a place for me to collect small pieces I create quickly for fun.

Moiré Study (2021) 

 A small study thinking about how to work with the Moiré effect in the visual and auditory domains.



Tonal Harmony Study (2022) 

Each note in this study is assigned its own colored block and the size of each block is proportional to the duration of the note it represents. The colors of the notes are not enharmonically equivalent, meaning for instance, a C# is assigned a different color than a Db. Given that the music works with tonal/triadic structures and the music generates different color combinations, this piece can be thought of as an experiment in tonal harmony in both the visual and musical realms.



SF_L 1 (2022) 

A visualization of four sine waves gliding up and down in frequency at four separate rates over the course of ten minutes.

a brief Bauhaus phase (2022) 

​PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING

A study in synced audio phasing and flickering animation using a pattern and colors I find slightly reminiscent of a rug made by Anni Albers.

6 broken ribs, so lucky to be alive (2022)
A study in salvaging a picture taken accidentally while driving.

Curves v Corners (2022)
Two versions of the same shape one with curved angles the other with corners for the angles. The shapes are overlaid, repeated, and rotated against their counterpart. (no audio)

16 Glimpses of 4 Grids (2021)
A study of four differently colored grids, each derived from a generating grid. The grids appear and overlap in a symmetrical pattern showing the commonalities and differences between the four. (no audio)
