well as i mention earlier my project but i think I'm going to take a different approach to it methinks.
everything i have done previous to this i began thinking visuals and let the sound follow.
i think I'm gonna try a different approach.
i have been brainstorming visuals but i have lots of ideas but.......................
i have decided from looking at the music videos from the people in Brighton made can't remember now but i will make the sound firstly and use audio controllers in 3DS Max to animate the abstract visuals.

interactive design
I've decided to go with and interactive installation dealing with sleep paralysis.
"Sleep paralysis is a common condition characterized by transient partial or total paralysis of skeletal muscles and areflexia that occurs upon awakening from sleep or less often while falling asleep. Stimuli such as touch or sound may terminate the episode, which usually has a duration of seconds to minutes. This condition may occur in normal subjects or be associated with narcolepsy, cataplexy, and hypnagogic hallucinations. The pathophysiology of this condition is closely related to the normal hypotonia that occur during REM sleep.[1] When considered to be a disease, isolated sleep paralysis is classified as MeSH D020188."

i will try create or mimic the imagery and sounds that SP induces. the projector will be set up in a room with a distance sensor.there will be 5 different hot spots when stood will play7 a sequence of different music and images.
when the person walks in the door it will be off but when they hit the first hot spot it will set off,at first it will be over powering but as they walk closer to the projector the sounds and images will calm.
this is the basic start i will use a collection of different imagery ,some real life of person in a bed but it will be mostly abstract.
i will create all the sound from scratch basically collecting raw sounds with and mini disc and a mic and editing it in pro tools.
