Sound and Motion --> Project 3--> Statement

For my cooking environment I wanted to create more of a simultaneous narrative than a sequential one. With the simultaneous environment, the user is able to combine different elements and create their own story. In a sequential narrative, the designer has set up a predetermined story line that the user must follow. Within the simultaneous narrative, the user is able to make their own conclusions. Cooking itself is a simultaneous process, so I attempted to bring that out in the interactive framework. The music, voice and sound effect additions bring an additional level of understanding for the user/viewer. By incorporating these elements, the user not only gets a visual picture, but gains insight into how the action depicted may sound or feel. The qualities brought on by voice relies solely on the ability of the speaker to communicate the feeling of the action or picture. Music qualities rely on the rhythm, pitch, and timbre to create the feeling of the action depicted. Qualities of the sound effect are drawn from the sound it is imitating.
