Music For The Deaf
The Light is Often Off and On
People who are deaf experience music and sounds differently. This makes the vibrations in music the most important aspect for them, as they listen. Does the pop music that comes out today sound the same? Does it feel the same?
​
Are there songs that are so similar, that they may be almost indistinguishable to someone who can ONLY feel them?
​
This project aims to take the sounds away from music and present them in a way that we, the people who can hear sounds, take for granted.
​
Beethoven is one of the most famous composers in the world, if not THE most famous composer in the world. Amongst the flurry of names that have popped up in the wake of his lifetime, his music is still being replayed, recorded, and revered.
​
Yet, He himself, was a deaf man. He could not here the music that he composed, so how is it that one person can make uniquely recognizable, astounding productions of work, and not have the pleasure of hearing it himself?
​
This idea transcends the cosmetic structure of sound, and takes on an ethereal complex, if you imagine sound vibrations being able to travel between dimensions, if they were able to slip between the strands of time and space.
​
When you travel between the passages of sound at this installation, my goal is for your mind to light up a pathway littered with spiderwebs that may lead you to doors of your imagination that you were unaware of.
