Phonosemantics, and phonoaesthetics are as previously stated, the direction and aim of the investigative and research elements within the project. Both topics, intertwined within their theory, deal with the meaning, visual representation and relationships within sound and image - in particularly phonoaesthetics deals with typography. Pictured on the left is a press clip of the research of Bell Labs in 1926, a very early technical investigation into the visualisation of sound and voice patterns. Here demonstrating how an acoustic lens focuses sound from a horn, the wave was made visible with an aluminum rod with a microphone and a neon lamp at the end. A complete 'sound photo' took 10 minutes exposure.
