about

This song was written as a part of a visual installation. Watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=55EvNpat0V8

Visualising music in various forms is not a new concept, whether it’s a work of art derived from the musical work, or a digital analyser formulating algorithms to create digital imagery synced to the pace of the song. ‘Harmony: Through The Flames’ draws inspiration from how to represent music graphically, creating a system for live visualisation in a physical environment. This installation showcases harmony with a composition written to emphasise resonant frequencies within metal tubes, resulting in stunning visualisations in fire.

The relationship between the music and visualisation is an integral part of this art piece, as it aims to show authentically, an image created purely by the sound entering each pipe. As such, the melody of ‘Burning Out’, the song played through the installation, was written using notes which corresponded to the resonant frequencies in the four tubes. The harmonies built upon this, using resonant frequencies available in the unused tubes, resulting in a build up of visual and musical emphasis as more harmonies and flames are added to the mix. The final product is a grand display of music, bringing out the inner pyromaniac of all who look upon.

Have a look at how it was created from idea to reality, with details about how the harmony was structured: elysiumdesignutopia.wordpress.com/category/music-2/cams390/

lyrics

You're burning out,
The fire's lost control -
The flames will fall.
Past loves are lost,
These passions weaken till
You're out of time.

When the world you once had hold of
Is burning at your feet
How do you find a way to take control?

I'm at the point of breaking
So I'm shutting you all out.
You know there's no mistaking that I'm gone.
How can I take control without losing myself?
I'm at the point of breaking...

The cold consumes
Will power frozen through
Your fight is gone.
With nothing left
How can we hope to prove
That there's something more for us to get to?

When the world you once had hold of
Is burning at your feet
How do you find a way to take control?

I'm at the point of breaking
So I'm shutting you all out.
You know there's no mistaking that I'm gone.
How can I take control without losing myself?
I'm at the point of breaking...

Nothing that you say can take away the fact I'm falling.
Losing grip on what can keep me going on and standing strong.
Cannot look beyond the day to see a new one dawning,
Cause all I see ahead is fading flames -

I'm at the point of breaking
So I'm shutting you all out
You know there's no mistaking that I'm gone.
How can I take control without losing myself?
I'm at the point of breaking...
