Silence
Begin with a still field and an explicit choice to enable audio.
Experimental Work / Sound and motion
Turn a retained sound idea into a wall of responsive light and movement.
Sound Wall is an experimental visual journey in which bands, particles and spatial light respond to a retained locally hosted audio track. The visitor must explicitly enable sound before it plays. The experience is presented as a creative study, not client work, and publication depends on confirming the authority to use every retained local media asset.

Why it matters
Silence
Begin with a still field and an explicit choice to enable audio.
CHAPTER 01
A five-beat journey from silence to signal.
The wall should respond to the track while remaining understandable without sound.
Pulse
Let low-frequency energy reveal the first bands of depth.
Split
Separate rhythm, texture and light into responsive layers.
Convergence
Bring layers together at the strongest musical passage.
Afterglow
Return to a calm poster with replay, share and project actions.
CHAPTER 02
Translate sound into designed behaviour, not random noise.
Every reactive property needs an intentional range and a non-audio fallback.
Amplitude
Control glow and wall depth within comfortable limits.
Frequency
Map broad bands to distinct visual materials rather than flashing the whole canvas.
Tempo
Use rhythm for pacing while smoothing sudden unstable movement.
CHAPTER 03
Release the experiment with the same evidence discipline as the rest of Work.
Experimental status does not remove media, accessibility or safety responsibilities.
Proof label
Display Experimental Work on the entry poster and detail page.
Asset register
Record audio, textures, fonts and any generated imagery with their permitted use.
Static story
Keep the premise, controls and commercial applications in initial crawlable HTML.
Questions worth resolving
What to clarify before committing.
Will sound start automatically?
No. The visitor must choose Enter and enable sound; a silent entry remains available.
How do I leave the journey?
Use the visible Exit journey control, press Escape, or press X.
Does GA Applications claim ownership of the retained track?
No. Public use requires a documented rights record; the experience copy makes no unsupported authorship or ownership claim.
Apply the direction responsibly
Use reactive sound and motion for a real communication purpose.
Bring the campaign, launch or story, together with rights-cleared assets and accessibility requirements.
