In a perfect world we’d love to integrate with those companies to make the user’s experience seamless, but for now we’re making changes to the product that lets you play around without having a digital file. Since more and more consumers are using music streaming services like Spotify, Rdio and Pandora, this is especially a challenge for us. We realized that one of our barriers to entry was the fact that the user has to own a digital file of the sound they want converted in order to customize a soundwave. I think the biggest challenge we’ve faced so far has been user acquisition. What were the biggest challenges you faced starting SoundViz? You can then choose to get your soundwave delivered as a fine art print, canvas or digital file.

We wanted to give our customers full control to make a soundwave their own - from the color, shape and style. These metrics allow us to create accurate, colorful wave forms that can be fully customized by the user. When a sound is uploaded to SoundViz, we analyze it for loudness and tone. Once I saw how great it turned out I thought this could be something people would buy, and voilà SoundViz was born a year later! He stayed up all night and built an algorithm that turned his song into a visual soundwave. Back in 2013 he produced a song he was really proud of and wanted to create a visual representation of it to hang on our wall.

Tyler, my fiancé, is a musician and software engineer. What inspired you to start making these designs?
Creating these things is super addictive - I probably made ten of them before deciding on my favorite (a clip of my personal favorite song, Loser by Beck).Ĭhelsea answered a couple of my questions about her company in a mini-interview: The site allows you to capture your favorite sound in a visual format, a clean and geometric graphic wave that’s customizable in color and shape. SoundViz was the inspiration for this post - a company founded by one of our own 99staffers, our email marketing manager Chelsea Haupt, and her fiancé. Pictured are “Bitches Brew” by Miles Davis (left) and “Transistor” by Kraftwerk (right).Īmbient electronic music has found a perfect output with the colored smoke creatures flitting their way across the screen in Icelanic artist Ólafur Arnalds’ music video for his song Ljósið. This photographer used high-speed shooting to capture the movement of paint splattered on speakers, to vibrantly demonstrate raucous sound. It can be capturing the way a sound’s vibrations move the world around it, or reshaping an ideal world based on the projection of sound - these ideas create a new surreal space. Sculptural interpretationĬreating a still capture of sound and freezing time is an oft-explored pathway to audial illustration. It’s a plugin, an open-source project that creates the now-familiar psychadelic abstract art to the beat of your favorite songs. Milkdropįor a more modern take on this, see Milkdrop. It’s recognized as the first commercially available music visualizer, essentially a video game where you input your Hi-Fi stereo system to see its visual representation. Take the Atari Video Music system, released in 1976. One of the main ways our favorite music nerds have found to express a little sonic something, is by analyzing the data behind the noise, finding ways to measure the different qualities of the audio and then assigning a visual component to them. It’s not just art that allows sound visualization, but the advent of new technologies that show us what sound really looks like. Let’s start off looking into the straight-up scientific form of this phenomenon: From music videos to fancy sculptures, what we hear is more and more often shown to us optically.
So it’s no surprise that some of the most creative minds in our community of humans are enthralled with being able to visually representing the audible. It’s pretty much our central mode of communication. It’s one of the five kinds of input we receive to be able to interact with one another and the world around us. There’s something about sound that has captured humanity’s attention for thousands of years.
