7 Online Resources for Female Sound Artists & Audio Professionals
ABC Radio National: the sound of red
Great series about the sound of colour and well worth a listen. In fact, I am reblogging the series as I enjoyed listening to it.
Red. A colour of extremes …
In this, the final episode of the primary colour series, we listen to the story of Russian composer and synaesthete Alexander Scriabin. Scriabin claimed to hear colour as different tones on the chromatic scale. He heard the colour deep red as “F” on the keyboard.
Over the next few months I will be working on the other colours in the ROYGBIV spectrum. Until then please visit Radio National to listen to Red, Yellow, and Blue.
ABC Radio National: the sound of yellow
Yellow, a colour that can provoke joy and nausea. Artists have used its binary shades to reflect summer’s vitality and our gradual decay. The negative connotations of yellow are quite strong in the English language. Consider: yellow-bellied, yellow-streak, yellow-journalism, yellow-fever.
If we were to imagine the sound of yellow, what would we hear? Viewing fields of sunflowers we might connect them with pleasant high pulses of energy; yet as their petals begin to fade their former sound could be replaced with low murky drones.
“Yellow” is the latest colour to be heard in my “Sound of Colour” series on ABC Radio National’s Soundproof. To listen or to download this piece please click here.
Next week, the colour red.
ABC Radio National: the sound of blue
Great series about the sound of colour and well worth a listen. In fact, I am reblogging the series.
IKB 191, monochromatic painting by Yves Klein
For the past few months I have been working on a short series of works interpreting the colour of sound for Australia’s Radio National.
This 3-part series features a combination of spoken word and soundscapes designed to reflect the emotional resonance that is shared by sound and colour.
The first episode, Blue, is now free to download through Radio National’s program Soundproof.
While you are visiting the Soundproof page check out their archive of radio art and other delicious audio features; all of which are freely available to download.

Denise Burt – Seeing New Music (Elevator Design)
Another interesting article from Headphone Commute about the creative process in cd cover design.
Over the last 10 years, Copenhagen-based graphic designer Denise Burt has been on a unique discovery of contemporary classical music through her work designing covers for hundreds of art music releases. In Seeing New Music she tells, from a personal viewpoint, the stories behind the creation of 24 of her CD designs. She also explains how – starting out as a music novice – she learnt to enquire and engage with the ideas behind the often complex music, in order to create more meaningful designs. The following is an excerpt from the introduction in this book, subtitledContemporary classical music through the eyes of a graphic designer, which I felt compelled to share with you.Republished with permission.
Just because I’m a graphic designer working with new music, don’t think that I’m an expert in classical music. I’m a graphic designer for a reason – my tendency is towards visual…
