1. Syn Emergence

2 years ago

Syn Emergence is a project which examines my own associative relationships between sound, form and space.

The project is constructed according to a range of specific sonic and spatial scale rule sets (micro, component, meso and macro) which I designed as part of a cross-disciplinary notation/cartographic system.

contact: richybevan@gmail.com

The film was conceived as part of my Masters at the Bartlett School of Architecture (Unit 15).

I think it is beautiful just by itself. If you think that it is part of a masters in Architecture makes this a great idea-- Thinking out of the box.

This is quite amazing. Care to tell a little bit about how you made the visuals? In what program? After Effects?
Thanks,
Daniel

Amazing. I found myself thinking repeatedly, "I want to go there"
Ben C 2 years ago

Absolutely AMAZING! It's almost eerie watching the first few bits. Describing this is very hard to put it into words. It's almost like a spiritual journey. I'm reminded of scenes from Stanley Kubrik's 2001.
Rich Bevan 2 years ago

Thanks for all your very kind words!

I produced the work using a number of different programs (including topmod, rhino, 3dsmax, ae, premiere, soundforge, pro tools, kenaxis, spectrogram), according to a specific rule/notation/cartography set I created .

A very rare work of depth, both as Light and Sonic Impact. I have been making animation since 1972 at Cal Arts and on to SKY-DAVID STUDIO. Great Praise for this "Great Mystery" Gem of Beauty

William Pugsley 2 years ago

The perfect match of visual and sound with the sub-text of science. I've been trying to do this for years, now I might as well give up. By far the greatest video I've seen here.
Orca Infernalis 2 years ago

Holy sh- Most amazing man. Sound is a little bit over the edge sometimes thou. But fits the movie perfectly
Lee Azzarello 2 years ago

really cool. Good sounds. Would be better if you removed the Phillip Glass track. I don't see what it has to do with the piece at all other than be distracting.
Barrie James Sutcliffe 2 years ago

Really beautiful, wonderful work. I agree about the sounds, love Glass but the video doesn't really need it.

It's beautiful. It gives me a Beginning-Of-The-Universe vibe.
Ben Kamprath 2 years ago

An absolutely stunning piece. Excellent, excellent work. Found this via NotCot. Glad to see it's getting spread about. If you ever feel the urge to collaborate with an illustrator on a future project, I'm your guy.

Cheers!

Thank you all for your great comments, they are really appreciated!!
Charles Wyatt 2 years ago

Syn emergence... Has this something to do with fractals? Whatever, this is a stunning piece of computer animation. In fact it looks so natural I imagined at first that you blew something up then reversed the film.

Sarah Moore 2 years ago

This is so exciting! I have audio-visual synesthesia as well, so I'm always looking for people who have tried to show others what this might look like...
I especially love how you used the high-pitched, frantic sounds for those spikey flying things. It's so perfect in relation to the darker clouds and deeper sounds.

moleculeColony 2 years ago

really good, might even be better if the cuts were not so fast and the music not so loud... i'd try to develop it more towards the meditational side and abstain from the usual idea of making things overly impressive

MoolahNasreddin 2 years ago

Totally Weird and Awesome! :)) As I saw it I thought immediately something about resynthesis... I had thoughts that it must be to created something at the end. Maybe... piece of sugar or.. cell... or something funny )) Approximately after 20 seconds of seeing this beauty I had strange animal feelings - danger or maybe - "waiting for miracle"...
It looks like you can do anything you want on the screen! :)
