Going forward, Asendorf wants to incorporate more sound into his work to create further audio-visual and audio-reactive pieces. I feel like a native to this technology, so using it to create art just feels natural,” he says. “I grew up with computers, Nintendo consoles, and Game Boys. “I really had to compose each piece, so that I liked every output and each one made sense to me,” he says.įeral File describes the project as living at the “intersection between art and technology,” but Asendorf doesn’t see the divide. Originally, the "Colors of Noise" NFTs were going to be entirely randomly generated-but after Asendorf saw what had been created, he decided to step in and curate the series. “People will need time to figure out if they like it, if it helps them, or if it disturbs them,” he adds. My work needs time to sink in, but hopefully people will think it’s interesting enough to stop scrolling.”
“With things like Instagram, you just keep scrolling even if you see something you like. “It’s experimental, because I have no idea how people will feel when they’re exposed to them,” Asendorf explains. "Colors of Noise" is an artistic “investigation” into how people feel when they hear these different sounds. White noise typically helps a person sleep, pink noise promotes concentration, and brown noise enhances relaxation. "Some you hear all the time, but your brain filters them out." “I don’t know if it’s the same for everyone, but some noises are very calming," he continues. “People should hopefully just be interested in watching it, letting it sink in, and maybe allowing it to hypnotize them for a while.” “I don't really consider it interactive art,” says Asendorf. The idea is that each NFT can cause a reaction in people, too.

Taking colored noises that have already been defined by audio engineering science, plus one created by Asendorf himself (yellow noise), "Colors of Noise" is an immersive piece of work that never repeats thanks to the generated noise and animations that react in real time. Pressing play will start the audio-visual art, while pausing it will freeze the waveform in place as the triggered animations fade out. “It’s a very experimental mix of automated algorithms and reaction diffusion algorithms that reimagines what I feel when I hear these noises,” Asendorf explains, with 16 different animations on offer and three components to each piece. The waveform for those different sounds was then recreated within a four-pixel-high wave, which became the trigger for the accompanying animation. Using the Web Audio API to generate white noise, Asendorf then created a filter to separate the different colored noises within that.
