The Orb & Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour

30 Mar

In an era where art intersects so frequently with technology, this project signifies the fusion of both. Commissioned as a limited-edition fine art prints to celebrate the album Metallic Spheres in Colour – a collaboration between The Orb and Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour – the spirit of the album was reimagined through data visualization using sonic data.

This project saw the transformation of recurring rituals – specifically the act of listening and taking notes about songs – into a visually stimulating narrative. The process began with analysing sonic data from the album's tracks. Each track's unique acoustic signature was transformed into circular, abstract visuals. This transmutation of sound to sight was both a technical and artistic challenge – countless hours were spent sketching, experimenting, and fine-tuning, using hand-drawn sketches and a system of purposefully developed digital tools. The result was a visualization that was both mathematically precise and emotionally evocative.

This work joins with a wider exploration of sound transmutation in Tiziana’s portfolio. Visualisation of emotions abound. Using sonic data, artworks capture moments of grief and passion, weaving audio recordings from life into detailed, circular abstract visuals.
