Exploring The Relationship Between Sound & Typography Through Creative Visualization

Meet Aleksandr Prohorov, a UK based graphic designer, illustrator and a passion for combining visual audio to typography. Check out Aleksandr's personal project where he combines theses elements of design in creating "Sound vs Typography" that he describes as a

experimental self-set project that explores the relationship between sound and typography through different ways of visualization.

Waveform Alphabet:

The typeface is produced out of existing font and waveforms. Each character features a waveform cut out from a dubstep artist's song, whose name begins with that particular letter.

Light + Sound = Type?

The idea of this piece is to capture full 26 character alphabet using sound and light through light sensors, some electronics and long exposure photography.
Four light sensors were directed to the centre of the space between them in the X shape to ensure full area coverage. Small torch was used as the light source for sensors to respond to.
While the light source was moved in the area of sensor response, long exposure photography was capturing light streaks in shapes of letters.

Singing Pencil:

Cyborg pencil that is modified to produce sound while using it for its original purpose - drawing/writing.
The secret here is that human body and pencil graphite are great electricity conductors and paired with some simple circuit, piezo sounder and some foil allows the pencil to visualize with sound.
