Audiolise Documentary
A short video documenting Audiolise. Outlines who Audiolise are, what we aimed to achieve and our progress across our three exhibitions.
Audiolise Soundscapes
The following is linked to audiolise soundcloud containing all the soundscapes that were made over the course of the first 2 exhibitions in Dundalk and in Dublin. The soundscape for every different painting from each participant are available to listen to. These soundscapes were also available for people to listen to at the Fis exhibition in the Carrols building in Dkit in June.
Findings – “Into the Woods”, Diana Muller
Findings – “Untitled 1”, Ken Browne

Findings – “Tree”, Susan McEvoy
Findings – “Plunge”, Ben Readman
particular, which resembles the feedback users gave about the paintings, i.e. they differed in audio and they differed in verbal explanations for the piece. The common research ground here was that most of the users did not feel that their soundscape suited the
painting and that they all had mainly different feelings towards the painting.
Findings – “Mottled Blue”, Sean Cotter
Findings – “Doorway”, Eoin Mac Lochlainn
Findings – “B3”, Erin Treacy
Findings – “Abstract in Calder Pink”, Diana Muller
Five of the soundscapes made to coincide with “Abstract in Calder Pink” used similar production & arrangement techniques. Each of there five users had different occupations, with both users feeling their soundscapes representing their feelings towards the painting 80%. However, each of there users worded their expressions of the painting in different ways.
In contrast, two seperate users described their feelings towards the painting in extremely similar ways. They both felt their soundscape represented their feelings towards the painting 80%. The two audio soundscapes turned out to be completely different in sound. The only other differences between these users were occupation, hobbies and gender.
Fís Exhibition Invite – Come one, Come all.
This is the invite for our final exhibition for project Audiolise. The exhibition will take place from the 1st-3rd of June in PJ Carrolls building in DkIT.
This is where we will be showcasing our findings that we have gathered from our first two exhibitions and it is really throwing up some interesting feedback.
Hope to see you there!
2nd Exhibition – Done and dusted.
We had our 2nd exhibition in The Exchange Gallery in Temple Bar, Dublin last night and it was a raging success. The response and feedback was more than we expected. We would like to take this chance to thank each and every person who attended the night. We all really enjoyed the experience and got to meet alot of new and interesting people.
We are now getting into the process of compiling and analysing the data we have gathered and it is already throwing up some interesting results.
We will continue to blog and update you on our progress over the next two weeks and look out for our next documentary teaser coming soon.

1st Exhibition – Great Success
It’s the day after our first exhibition in Basment Gallery in Dundalk. As a group we were all very happy at how the exhibition went.
Sean Cotter and Susan McEvoy, 2 of the Louth artists involved in the project even made a visit down
We got excellent feedback on the project from all users and it has also really helped us prepare for the next 2 exhibitions in Dublin on Thursday and then the Fis Exhibition in June. Audiolise would like to thank Denis Darcy for allowing us the opportunity to host our project in the Basement Gallery. We are now making the final preparations for the Exchange Gallery exhibition tomorrow. We hope to have an even larger crowd for the exhibition in the exchange.

On the eve of our first Exhibition
The Day before exhibition in Basement Gallery On the eve of our first exhibition in the Basement Gallery in Dundalk, the group are working hard to ensure everything is ready for tomorrow. Last minute touch ups can often be over looked the day before exhibition so we want to make sure everything is in working order and things will hopefully run smoothly.
Promotion is going well
Preparing for Basement Gallery Exhibition With the first exhibition one week away, the group are just putting finishing touches to our project and making sure everything is ready for it. The group are all excited for our first public showcasing of our project and hope to have a good turn out. There has a real push and the group are making a lot of progress. Naturally the week before our first 2 exhibitions is going to be very busy and there is a still a large list of things to do before next Tuesday.

The Group are in the process of finding more artists for the project and experimenting with all the tools we have to use, such as TouchOSC, Flash and Ableton live. As of the time of writing we aim to have at least 8 different art pieces from separate artists. We have sent out numerous emails and have received a number of replies. At the moment we have around 5 pieces and we are in regular contact with different artists, in particular Diana Muller from Brushwood studio’s in Kerry, who has showed a distinct interest in our project. Diana is in the process of sending us some hi res pictures of her paintings and she has also told us that other painters in Brushwood studio’s were willing to work with us also which was great to hear. As well as that, we have also been in touch with NCAD student union and they are putting out details of our project in their weekly newsletter. Fingers crossed we will be getting some replies from interested NCAD students or alumni, as well as exhibiting and promoting our own project, a big part of this project is also promoting the exceptional standard of art that exists within Ireland today.
We have been in contact with more and more artists from around Ireland. In terms of art we expect to have pieces from at least 8 different art pieces from a number of artists. As a group we have been conferring and we all know the style of art we think we suit best for the project. As the objective of the project is to have the user create audio from interpretation of the art, we have been looking a lot of abstract art pieces as we feel people will bring the own interpretation from more abstract pieces. Ciaran has been researching and making a short list of Irish artist, of whose work would be ideal for our project.
We sent out a lot of emails to various Irish artists whose pieces we liked. The list of artists in this project is are as follows:
• Diana Muller
• Erin Treacy
• Ken Browne
• Ben Readman
• Eoin Mac Lochlainn
• Sean Cotter
• Anne Muller
• Susan McEvoy
The artists we have short listed have been getting back to us and all seem very interested in the project and are willing to work with us. Ciaran has collected 8 hi res images of the paintings we want to use in the project from all 8 artists. The next step is David creating the interface for the project with all 8 art pieces included.
The group has been working hard to ensure that we are all up to date with our different roles. Ros has been over-seeing the entire project to make sure everything has been getting done and making sure we are ready for the upcoming deadlines which include the demo on the 6th of May and 2 exhibitions before our main FIS exhibition, one of which will be held in Dundalk and the other in Dublin. David and Pauric have been working tirelessy with the design and audio aspects of the project.
