The first impression given by the audio piece titled "Satur-nine" is that it is something frightening. It has a steady rhythm at the beginning, which is interrupted by other sounds and then continues again. Some characteristic sounds that I tried to distinguish and record are the beating of a heart, sounds from a glockenspiel, sounds from a xylophone, the sound of a glass object being struck (e.g., a bowl), a clock, and deep strikes (e.g., sound depth effects). At first, while listening to it, I imagined it as the sound of a hospital corridor in a thriller movie, as the heartbeat monitor is also heard. However, as it progresses, the sound becomes more pleasant because it adds faster rhythms compared to the initial ones, which suggest electronic music. The audio excerpt ends just as it started, leaving a sense of fear and the feeling that it has reached its conclusion. As mentioned earlier, the piece carries a sense of terror. So, instead of colors, I decided to use only the grayscale tonal range, mainly white and black. Additionally, in order to highlight the visual compositions, I decided to use red in a specific shade with the code D12929. The shapes I chose do not correspond to any specific feature of the audio excerpt, but rather reflect my personal expression of how I perceive the excerpt. Since the sound has parts with a fast rhythm, I tried to make the shapes move as quickly as their rhythm, so that sound and image would coincide. Mainly geometric shapes were used, which in their final visual result hint at geometric abstract art. Apart from the final part of the work, where the visualization of the audio piece lasts 20 seconds, the other parts last from 10 to 12 seconds. This particular piece was created using Adobe software, After Effects.
