Writing about my concept

The song “Moonchild” performed by “King crimson” as it appears in a scene from the movie “buffalo 66″ is a unique version. Layla, the main character (Christina ricci) is tap-dancing to the sound of this song in a bowling alley, by that creates two layered sound.
The first layer of the sound is the song which defines a special atmosphere and raises unique feelings. These can be described by the imagining of floating freely through outer space with zero gravity and weightlessness. The tap-dancing is the second layer emphasize and dictates the pace of the sound and is a target of attraction that leads one attentively along the composition raises wonders about the essence of the sound. Perhaps, drives one to search and find this essence.
A visually articulation of the song can be found in the crystal snowball effect. When shaken, the crystal snowball twinkles in an abstract and inconsistent way. The tap-dancing’s clear sound can be manifested by the classic wooden marionette and clamshells. The marionette, supposedly generated by an unseen force, can’t be self-sufficient individual. Similarly, clamshells can’t clap by themselves. Presented by themselves emphasize that we are unaware of the generator that activates those entities and causes the process which leads to a specific sound effect.
Translating the tapping sound to a linguistic sign discovers the essential conditions for its creation. There are three essential conditions or parameters to be precise: energy source, steady surface and a Tool – which acts as a mediator. In the case of the sound, the dancer acts as the energy source, dancing upon the floor (the steady surface) in his tap-dancing shoes (the tool). The relations between the three parameters can be defined as a pattern of creation. Each time it appears slightly different thanks to the specific angel, force and movement at a certain time. All of these reduced and find an expression in a single point at which all of the parameters meet; this point is the visualization of a single taping sound. When putting all of these points together as a whole composition they form a spatial experience which is parallel to the audio experience of the sound.
At the site, Namir Bridge, there’s a natural phenomenon that contains the same pattern. At early morning time, the sun beams hit the river water in a very specific angle that allows the river water to act as a reflector (energy source), which projects itself with the assistance of the broken sun beams (the tool) upon the northern wall (the steady surface), creating a dynamic image. Here, the pattern of creation defines a visual image. The fact that the site has the power to reflect upon itself a live movement is amazing. It takes the dynamic feature that exists in the flowing water and projects it to a still component. By this act, a whole new space is created.

A natural reflector (the sun hits the river water
at a low angel) that operates at the early morning
Between 06:45-07:30 and creates a visual image on the
Northern wall.
The next film was taken at the later stages of the
Appearance of the reflector on the west side of the wall.
The process apply the equation of three parameters.

Every touching point between the steady surface
And the 4 surfaces that are immersed in a movement
Created by a human body.
An equation of three parameters: energy source,
Steady surface and a tool.

Hello Everyone,

I set up this blog to share my Studio work in my second year at Shenkar’s Interior Design Program.

Enjoy,

Shlomit
