colour flow_part 1
The second scene was programmed to create fluidity between the colours.
Introducing fading time (F) and holding time (H), two seconds remain the
ground pulse. See graphic respresentation of the scenes on the following
page.
Research Diary Note: : Somehow, the exploration into what it means to
compose over time starts here. I play around with different time durations
for fading and holding time, using one or both of them. It all feels wrong,
not smooth enough, not balanced enough… The increments (steps) are still
visible and it seems the flow stops when the colours “pause”/hold for two seconds.
A difficult thing to do! Well, I don’t have to be frustrated today.
You “composed a scene”. Can I already talk about rhythm or melody?
The third scene was programmed to increase fluidity between the colours.
To achieve this it was necessary to differentiate the time duration of the fading
and holding times.
A fourth scene has been created by playing with irregular time durations
for fading and holding times in order to create a first feeling of a melody.
