For my journey, I walked from my house to this nature preserve and then along the beach of Lake Michigan. I wanted to focus on the sounds of the experience, so I recorded the entire thing. From there, I began exploring what sound is, what kinds of things made the sounds that I heard, and how sound can be represented visually. I stretched my theme a little further to the idea of cycles, like the cycle of the tides and the moon, and how sounds are produced by cyclical, repetitive motions. I also found some super-fascinating examples of ancient music notation.
Awesome visuals. Some other things to think about...
