Simon Russel  - Seeing sounds - visualising music and sonification
Channel: TechExeter
Date: 22/12/2020

An insight to my work visualising audio and music. This will include real world projects as well as my more experimental work. I will cover using different types of audio, MIDI, spatialised sound, AI generated audio and transcription and sonification.

Session takeaways

* understand useful approaches to visualising audio, to understand some of the challenges/technical and creative of visualising audio/data
* stimulate ideas and possible cross fertilisation into their own field.
* how to blend art and technical disciplines

Bio

I'm a UK based freelance motion graphic designer based in Ivybridge, Devon. I’m a motion designer and 3D generalist but a lot of the work I do is based around music and events. I’ve created visuals for artists like Elton John, Shawn Mendes and U2. I’ve created work for the Commonwealth Games, the LA concert hall and the Barbican. I’ve also worked on shows like Black Mirror, Watership Down and the upcoming Dark Materials trilogy doing concept development, UI’s and visual effects. A lot of this work is driven by my more experimental work in visualising audio and sonification. I’ve recently started producing art with a robotic pen plotter.
