Original Music and Sound Design for an Experimental Short Film

Napoli film by Seppo Renvall

The visuals of the NAPOLI film were translated into sound, forming the foundation for both the musical composition and sound design. A poem recited by lead actor Pasquale se Fabbio was converted into musical notation and used as the basis for the main melody.

Seppo Renvall is a pioneer in Finnish experimental film. He works mainly with film and video, but hid artistic output also includes photography, installations and happenings. His films are characterised by an abstract imagery in black and white and a non-narrative structure that often focuses on the apparently commonplace and everyday.

I consider myself fortunate to have collaborated with him on the film, which premiered on May 11, 2017.

Sonification of a Tree – Requiem for the Tree of the Glass Palace

Tree of the Glass Palace

In downtown Helsinki, there’s a place called Lasipalatsin aukio (Glass Palace Square), slated for renovation along with the surrounding area. At the center of the square stands a tree that is set to be cut down. In response, a group of artists created works dedicated to the tree — I was invited to contribute as well.

For my piece, I photographed the tree and used the images as input for a generative sound process. The photo is scanned from left to right, with the light areas providing data for a set of oscillators, waveforms, and filters. The resulting sound composition is taken from one full scan pass.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Ensæmble on multiple projects. In 2015, I collaborated with them to create a data-driven dance piece, and more recently, I developed this showcase website to their exact specifications. The site features five triptychs, each with images that change at randomly selected intervals. Take a look!
