Shape Color Time: Light Fields
Gabriel Smetzer’s Light Field Aberration series is a set of motion studies that explore fluid, glowing forms, light-based motion, and spatial depth. The visual world he created felt inherently musical — inviting a sound response that could enhance without distracting.
I composed original sonic branding elements for three of the pieces, using a consistent palette of warm ambient textures and bell-infused tonal gestures. While each animation had its own pacing and energy, I kept a unified sonic identity across the series — showcasing my approach to sonic branding: immersive, textural, and designed to support a visual language.
The result is a set of cohesive audiovisual experiences that feel part of the same sonic universe, offering subtle tonal cues that enhance mood, depth, and motion.
