Euphoric Translations


Film theorist Rudolf Arnheim (1904 - 2007) held the belief that cinematic art is achieved only when its’ material limitations are used to create perfect illusionism. He, amongst other notable theorists of the early-mid 1900s, disapproved of using sound and other elements of realism feeling it “added very little” and in fact, “inhibits the visual experimentation.” I am interested in how it applies to modern television as it has augmented the technical and conceptual practices seen in filmmaking. How do design and musical decisions affect the multi-sensory experience of contemporary cinematography?

“Euphoric Translations” focuses on the function and design of sound and music in cinematography and confronts the ideas attributed to Rudolf Arnheim in the media example of Sam Levinson’s HBO Series ‘Euphoria.’ Particularly in Labrinth’s composed track “I’m Tired” which appears twice in the second season. Portraying two very different scenarios and circumstances, an analysis of “I’m Tired” through an editorial lens deeply considers how both visual and written components contribute to the emotive effectiveness of filmmaking.

Note:

An affective response to film theory. Concept based on episode 2.04 and 2.08.

Desync Display


Inspired by the notion of intentional glitch, Desync Display is a stylized sans-serif font dessigned to capture the sonic ambience attributed to music. Based on frequency and attempt to visually contextualize sound, the fluid yet structured nature of this font works well within both poster and album design.

256 : Incident Report


256 : Incident Report introduces the culmination of collected images with observed thoughts in order to archive the material with an interpersonal perspective. This iteration emphasizes the object of personal collections and the forms through which they might appear - via what we read, what inspires us, what music we listen to, and people we meet.

Everyone’s Love Looks Different


Addressing affect theory via the formal makeup of a soundtrack, this is a project deeply invested in the way in which music functions in life. Particularly the capacity to which it is able to capture emotions and circumstances of life that are beyond the expression of just words. This project defines the invaluable experience and affect of coping through the music we listen to. 

Note:

In four (really three) segments, this playlist functions as an archive of the wayss in which love takes form - via memories, idealisms, and in realizations.
