Monday, March 1st, 2010After listening to the track over and over again:I concluded that there where about 8 sounds that where repeated that I could hear. I created a timeline for this song and marked on the timeline when each sound appeared in the song. The results can be seen below. Hopefully you should be able to see a pattern created for the music
- The º green dots represent a big electronic type symbol sound.
- The smaller dots represent quieter/smaller symbol sounds – that are almost background
- The “/” represent a sort of wavery background repeating beat.
- [ – expo
- a – english voice
- Eszett (B shape) – german voice. Eszett are german characters which represent “ss” e.g schloss can also be written with an Eszett on the end instead of a double ss
- The ⊿ – triangle shape represents a swoshing sound that starts quite quiet and then gradually increases in pitch
- The W – represents a sound at 1:04 – 1:22 to me the sound looked like a repeating WWWWW shape. To me this sound makes the music and is important. Hence the box surrounding it to help make it stand out
The pink represents voice:
Please note: I’m not a musical buff!
I found this poster was a bit tooo busy and needed some breathing space, hence the above image.

Kraftwerk
Monday, March 1st, 2010I have decided to change song. to Kraftwerk’s expo 2000
each dot represents a second of the song. the song is 408 seconds long, there are 408 dots. The magenta dots represent a symbol type sound in the song.

I thought this just looked interesting!
This poster is a moodboard of ideas, shape and colours for the expo song.
