Artist: Peter Vogel

Title: The Sound Of Shadows

In this piece of work, Peter Vogel creates a composition through a curation of sounds reproduced by electronic objects.

In essence, he had selective curate transistors, resistors and diodes to from sounds based from electrons and wave sounds. His abstraction to use everyday underlying objects to produce a sense of rhythm inspired me to work in this manner for my upcoming project. How can we create a sense of musical rhythm and composition purely from a  ‘random’ curation of sounds? In a way, can we subvert our viewers expectations by creating a fun and enjoyable experience through mimicry and replacement of sounds?.

Title of work: Mesa Musical Shadows

The group of artists had recreated swings to produce sound. Interestingly, the use of interaction of the viewer and the artwork itself praises attention. I think the degree of interactivity inspired me to pursue a piece of work more incline with the notion of a musical landscape.

This particular piece of work pushed an idea where we as a viewer could create a sense of rhythm purely by interaction. In this way, I am intending my piece of art for the project to be more in line with elements of music.
