Case study of Black Hole by Sara Manuwal
This project highights my sound FX design and music composition for Sara Manuwal’s 2008 experimental animation, Black Hole. In this project, the lines between sound effects and musical composition were blurred because instead of using conventional instruments, I mapped different sounds to a digital sampler and triggered them with a MIDI keyboard. Some of the sounds I pulled from my FX library, and others I recorded in the studio.
After the sounds were mapped to the different keys on my keyboard, I recorded the score in real-time with the video. Lastly, once the initial score was recorded, I went back and layered more effects over the video transitions.
