In order to develop a basic understanding of the representation of something as ephemeral yet complex as the visualistion of sound, in particularly with the consideration of typography, I begun to reference two books quite regularly, Edward R Tufte's 'Envisioning Inforamation', and Cowhouse's 'Shapes for Sounds.'Cowhouse's book refers to the the direct relationship between sound and text, something which evidently I need to fully comprehend in order to realise my project. It refers to, in great detail, the developing relations between speech, technology and the alphabet, and the semantic but yet abstract relationship between sounded signifiers and the signified images they represent.
