7. Sound.
• Original audio production
• Synthesis of electronic and live
performance
• Ambient, transitory, ephemeral

undulating, rippling plane upon which
visuals a projected, surrounded by
enveloping sounds.

10. Summary.
• Light and sound are derived and described in wave
forms, and the physical form of a wave is hypnotic,
repetitious, and appealing to the right-hemisphere of
the brain (which effectively turns off our perceptual
acknowledgement of time, allowing us to focus on
form, shape, line, light, etc. in creative/visual
activities).
• Swell attempts to describe and manipulate this
sensation through the use of visuals, sounds and
surfaces combined, to pull you into an aesthetic
world.
