video of four de-congruent squares

These four pieces are part of a series of nine video groups. To be projeced/displayed interactive/simultaneously (installation). Here, the movement of the squares were determined by a set of 100 drawings, random placements of drawings on consecutive animation pages

—footage via frame to frame and action scanning.
 
The sound was composed using a graphic score corresponding to the color and design of the image.
 
The formula allows basic elements of each separate piece to correspond so it is possible to play them separately or in concert or with any variation.
 
For future interactive installation, options to freeze action, print a frame, play individually, or simultaneously. Ideally another sound interwoven would be a random sampling of natural sound near the showplace (contact microphones/recording/audio feed)

inside the box

Inside the Box could be characterized as "outside the box", a video animation done frame by frame the old fashioned way drawn with vectors though they may be, layered and overlapping photoshop in movie mode, very basic. The idea was imaginary holographic boxes and artworks in a museum setting. There are size/scale events like the figures looking at the exhibit, before you see them it looks quite different. When you see them, the art is larger. When the white line figures come in they aren't solid, when they walk back through going out they've materialized hpwever you notice they don't interact with the exhibit, either coming or going, That's just the way it is with perception. And you have to want to care. The art, the animation, the sound/music "Reaching the Summit" produced by K.A. Bloom 2015-2025

visual music based on a graphic score of 3x3 tiled squares and circles three times with 3 visually related 3-color spectrum(rgb) score base images, these image files were also used to compose the visual. experimenting at creating scores specifically for audio interpretation of visual signals or vice versa, finding that i can be very specific regarding the colors and shapes used to score the sound, and researching the various types of visual scores made and used by contemporary composers more info on this later....sit back, enjoy 3:02

white noise pattern music

the varieties of tones and timbres of 'white noise' composed in a musical score, with animated 'rorschach' imagery

juxtapose pattern

juxtapose pattern attempts to synthesize two pattern types, the symmetrical and the random
