Video development: Notations of volume and discernment
In these images, the symbols like “ppp” and “mf” are dynamics notations in music. It's how loud and soft the sound is intended to be. To me, it's more about how much I can hear. The phonemic chart is a different kind of writing and notation. And the “dz June” in the yellow square, for example, made me think of how the “f” musical notation is swoopy. So I tried redesigning some of these phonemes notation in the style of music notation, according to whether the dynamics of the phoneme are loud or soft. Some of these phonemic sounds are a lot harder to hear because of their high frequency. So phonemes that I perceive as louder, I did them in the style of a forte (“f”) or a double forte (“ff”) or a triple forte (“fff”), which indicates “loud” or “very loud.” Then, in the Song Without Words video, there are all these floating symbols. I compare them to how I hear all these fragments that I have to put together, and as soon as I do, they fly off again.
