Artistic Synaesthesia Analysis of Music and Modeling

Artistic Synaesthesia Analysis of Music and Modeling

"The moonlight in the pond is uneven, but the light and shadow have a harmonious melody, just like a famous song played in the Vatican." 1July, 927, Mr. Zhu Ziqing expressed his feelings on the campus of Tsinghua, and expressed the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond in a simple and simple way, which broke through the simplification of the description of "experiencing feelings" in traditional techniques, just as Mr. Qian Zhongshu wrote in "Four Old Essays? Synaesthesia analysis: "In daily experience, vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste can often be communicated, and the fields of eyes, ears, tongue, nose and body can be divided. The color seems to have temperature, the sound seems to have image, the warmth seems to have weight, and the smell seems to have physique. " Moonlight on the Pond gives people a kind of visual enjoyment, while The Famous Music Played gives people a kind of comfortable hearing. Mr. Zhu Ziqing's brushstroke broke the barrier between the senses in literature, and his successful application of synaesthesia technique made the internal lyricism of the work reach a harmonious fit, which made the description language have an elegant beauty and a beautiful aesthetic feeling. "

Synaesthesia is not only a rhetoric in traditional literature, but also an expression in psychology, biology and aesthetics, also known as "empathy", that is, "transfer of feelings" At this time, the concept of "synaesthesia" can not fully summarize the empathy relationship at the aesthetic level. For the sake of art and psychology, the academic circles put forward the concept of "artistic synaesthesia" to replace the common concept of "synaesthesia" more accurately. In today's digital age, the main ways for human beings to receive information come from vision and hearing, and synaesthesia between them is the key research object in today's academic circles. In industrial design, product modeling is the most abundant visual language; Similarly, music is the most diverse representative element in the whole auditory world. This paper discusses the synaesthesia relationship between music and modeling.

1. Synaesthesia principle of art

Philosophical principle of artistic synaesthesia +0. 1

According to Marx's materialistic viewpoint, everything in the world is universally related, and there is no completely independent individual. Similarly, in the world of artistic aesthetics, there are no isolated single-plank bridges, only crossroads that are interrelated and influence each other. As the audience of art, it is impossible for us to appreciate and interpret a work only through visual perception or auditory perception, but through multi-dimensional and multi-directional information collection, we can see its shape with our eyes, listen to its sound with our ears, smell its taste with our nose, listen to its sound, and then merge with our brains to form a mature image after physiological processing. Fischer, a German philosophical aesthetician, put forward in his book Subjective Impression of Beauty: "Senses are not isolated, they are a branch of feelings and can replace each other to some extent. When a feeling rings, other feelings ring as a memory, an echo and an invisible symbol. " This paper completely discusses the essential principle of artistic synaesthesia, that is, the ringing effect between senses, which lays a philosophical foundation for subsequent research.

1.2 The physiological principle of artistic synaesthesia

Artistic synaesthesia not only has a certain philosophical basis, but also modern medical research shows that the formation of "synaesthesia" is also the normal behavior of human tissues. The human brain is composed of countless neurons. When people's senses are stimulated by external information, the innervation nerve will quickly transmit the received information to the cerebral cortex, and then it will be diverted by the cerebral cortex analyzer and enter the sensory area corresponding to each information. Different stimuli will form relative "excitation centers" for different regions, and will also produce "excitation inhibition" for other regions. The interaction between "excitation center" and "excitation inhibition" makes the human body produce different sensory representations, thus forming synaesthesia. Therefore, synaesthesia is based on certain biological principles, and artistic synaesthesia caused by aesthetics is also a passive natural phenomenon of human body to some extent.

2. Examples of synaesthesia between music and modeling

2. 1 Visibility of music

Music can be perceived and seen. Marion, an English musician, said, "Music is an audible color, and color is a visible sound." Every visual image conveys its unique sound to us. Judging from the sound wave image, one of the manifestations of music, different notes correspond to different wavelengths, the cadence sound shows ups and downs, and the soothing sound shows Ma Pingchuan. Even through artistic techniques, the color brightness and purity of the image will change with the change of timbre. Therefore, music is visible. At present, there are many related research topics in the field of industrial design, such as visual research of music and color simulation of timbre. , widely used in traditional modeling field and emerging Internet interaction field.

2.2 The correspondence between instrumental music and morphology

Instrumental music, like vocal music, is the two cornerstones of music architecture. Compared with complex vocal music, instrumental music with clear structure is the first choice for learning music; Similarly, in the complex modeling field, it is also the best choice to study modeling without the simple form of color and material. Therefore, the author tries to explain the artistic synaesthesia relationship between music and modeling with the corresponding relationship between instrumental music and modeling.

2.2. 1 Relationship between Bill and Bank

Every note and timbre of an instrument has its corresponding lines, and they all act as the most basic elements in each other's world. Different notes, high or low, can find its two-dimensional prototype in the form. Figure 1 lists five representative musical instruments with timbre effects, including wind instruments (bamboo flute and saxophone), stringed instruments (piano and violin) and percussion instruments (jazz drum). Their different characteristics are like three-dimensional figures with distinct personalities, and their shadows projected in the flat world will be clearly "seen" by our brains.

2.2.2 The relationship between solo and face.

In the field of music, solo has always played an intermediate role. Similarly, in the world of modeling, the form of face is also a connecting link between the preceding and the following, and it is a transitional form between lines and forms. In the solo of different instruments, its unique timbre effect has also been fully exerted, and the face presented in the modeling is also unique. Figure 2 lists the corresponding visual effects when four different instruments are solo.

2.2.3 The relationship between symphony and genre.

Symphony is a large-scale orchestral music with many movements, which is generally written for orchestras. In terms of complexity and formal scale, it is a master of instrumental music, and in a sense it is a synthesis of music. Corresponding to the field of modeling, the same level is complete. A complete shape contains all elements of points, lines and surfaces, and brings together the characteristics of each element, thus showing a mature state with design thinking and design semantics as a whole.

/kloc-at the beginning of the 0/9th century, romanticism was gradually sweeping from the literary and painting circles to the music world. Berlioz, a French romantic musician, wrote a classic symphony "Fantasy March" (table 1), in which "romance" and "imagination" became its characteristic keywords. In the product design, the author cited a suspended sound. The main body of the sound was suspended on the lower host by magnetic force. With the ups and downs of the music, it was very romantic, and its expression coincided with the fantasy March.

Table 1 Romanticism and figure

Berlioz's fantasy March

The French musician Berlioz's symphony Fantasia, with its imaginative orchestral grammar, opened a decisive door for the romanticism of music and became a masterpiece of romantic music.

Beethoven's representative work "Pastoral Symphony" is simple and natural (Table 2), with fresh and simple melody and obvious solo characteristics of single instrumental music, which makes the audience relaxed and unforgettable. Similar to the same result, Nordic design advocates returning to the beauty of nature, highlights the value of materials themselves, and shows concern for humanity and physical properties in simplicity. The design of this lamp uses logs as materials, and the production method respects nature without affectation, and the rustic feeling of the countryside is unobstructed.

Table 2? Naturalism and Body Shape

Beethoven's pastoral symphony

Beethoven's masterpiece "Pastoral Symphony" is simple and natural, and every note is full of the breath of returning to nature.

Beethoven's masterpiece "Symphony of Destiny" has a magnificent style, which brings together all kinds of low instrumental music with strong sound, and at the same time there is no lack of high-pitched timbre. The whole piece of music is ups and downs, and the scale is grand, which perfectly depicts the image of a tenacious man. It is easy for the audience to think of some tenacious modeling images, such as Land Rover's off-road vehicle, which is full of modeling, full of water chestnut and extraordinary, and its off-road pioneering spirit is the three-dimensional embodiment of the symphony of destiny.

Table 3 Passion and Body Shape

Beethoven's symphony of destiny

Hold the fate by the throat! This is a high summary of the symphony of destiny, and Beethoven's indomitable, tenacious and pioneering manly spirit is vividly reflected.

3. The intersection of music and models

Music and models are both forms of artistic expression. Music brings certain information to the audience from the aspects of hearing and vision, and then through the processing of the cerebral cortex, it brings an emotional sense of identity to itself.

On the multi-dimensional track of modeling and music, there is a meeting point-emotion. Different information acquisition may bring the same emotional experience to the brain, or sadness, or joy, or excitement, or depression, and then give some feedback to other information through the guidance of emotional value to promote the re-appreciation of music or modeling.

The artistic synaesthesia of music and modeling is not only the exploration of artistic acceptance, but also the development of artistic expression. Based on emotion as the intersection of the two, emotional design will be injected with new blood. Industrial designers can not only find inspiration for product design in music, but also integrate musical elements into product design through artistic treatment. It is a new idea for every designer and music creator to grasp the synaesthesia relationship between music and modeling, re-create the works and integrate them in a real sense.
