“…Anadol suggests designers take an interdisciplinary approach to explore connections between art and science through using data as a design tool, as this holds immense opportunity for future innovation and collaboration between disciplines (Anadol, 2020). Audio-visual representation techniques are becoming increasingly prevalent within society due to the growing popularity of films, television programmes, music videos, and computer games (Rogers, 2013). Many websites include a soundtrack, and the development of mobile phones and tablets allow users to engage with audio-visual activities quickly and easily.…”

“…To date, a systematic methodology for crosssensory alignment between visual and auditory elements has not been developed. Within the fine arts, music, and literature, however, the search for connections has a long history (Rogers, 2013).…”

“…In this manner, the perception of sound can additionally stimulate a sensation of visual shape and color. Synaesthesia is a rare phenomenon found amongst few people, however, it is an intensely investigated matter within the field of synaesthetic research (Rogers, 2013). Those who experience synaesthesia are known as synaesthetes and can experience a variety of audio-visual connections such as the association of sound with perceptual elements such as taste, smell, and colour (Ward, 2013).…”

“…Kandinsky based their colour theory on the theosophical theory of electrical vibrations emitted from particular thoughts or feelings, vibrations that could be experienced through colour and shape. According to the artist, for instance, the colour yellow has an aggressive character and "may be paralleled in human nature with madness" (Rogers, 2013).…”

“…5, composed by Brahms. This technique of audio-visual synchronisation was later introduced to the mainstream in 1940 when Fischinger worked with Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, for a sequence of visual music in Disney's Fantasia (Rogers, 2013).…”

Traditional scientific methods of visualising sound data have focused on techniques that attempt to capture distinct elements of the audio signal, such as volume and length. However, existing methods such as spectrograms and waveform analysis are limited in their expression of the characteristics associated with complex sounds such as bird song. This research explores strategies to visualise sound in an aesthetically engaging manner. It uses sound data from native New Zealand birds as a design tool for creating an audio-visual design system. The distinct focus on timing and pitch within these songs makes the data suitable for visual comparison. The design techniques explored throughout this research project attempt to express the unique characteristics of a variety of New Zealand bird songs and calls. It investigates how artistic audio-visual methods can be integrated with scientific techniques so that the auditory data can be made more accessible to non-specialists. More specifically, this research aims to take advantage of the natural phonaesthetic connections people make between sonic and visual elements. The final output of this research consists of a generative design system that uses auditory data to create visualisations of New Zealand bird song. These visualisations have a mathematical basis, as well as being audio-visual artworks in themselves.
