Do a- Do- female- a de-Do

I have been wanting to use sound in my project for quite some time now but never really knew how to utilise it. it also moved drastically away from what i'd call a visual communication piece and more to a fine art piece. After the prints of the instruments i made i looked at the book 'Soundings a Contemporary Score' which was about a gallery full of multiple artists (with different variations of the word artist). While i couldn't really find anything of ultimate interest but the concept of sound art is interesting. so i decided to move from instruments to the human instruments i.e vocals. i booked the studio and planned to film, draw and record people while they sang. i wasn't entirely sure of how this would go. it sounds like an out of tune, out of time choir this is partly because some didn't actually know the song which was Do, Re, Mi. 

The film was more successful i think but it could of been better because as i layered the films on top of each other by the fifth film i lost the first and by the end i had about only 3 being visible so i am going to redo this and try to alter the opacity, i feel it will be a combination of maths and trial and error in order to get it right.
