Testing the Waters

This first week of working on my experiment will be small scale testing the relationship between the individual masses of letterforms and the sounds that they produce. This initial experiment will be of letterforms cut from masonite before I start cutting wood and aluminum letterforms. I can also start testing the difference between typefaces. Will Bodoni sound beautiful? or Helvetica flat and boring? Another element of this experiment that I can start to test is the surfaces onto which the letterforms will be dropping. Can the shape and acoustic qualities be changed to create new effects.
