T-penning, or the process of creating and designing the overall soundscape for audiovisual productions such as news and factual content, films, TV series, video games, or online content, involves selectively choosing, processing, and combining sounds, cues, audio returns, and effects. This elevates sound design from a technical task to a directorial and semiotic level. By defining T-penning as the act of writing the soundscape using tone, pitch, and amplitude, we are establishing a methodology that aligns perfectly with the 1518&projects ethos: we set up, we do not upset.
- Signal Control: This is all done within the sound signal and tone, characterized by its pitch and amplitude, to reinforce the visual message, emphasize character emotions, and create a coherent and immersive sound world. By controlling the sound pitch and amplitude at the source and processing stage, we prevent external distortions.
- Pitch & Amplitude as Building Blocks: Instead of relying on pre-packaged presets (which might benefit “someone else’s wallet”), T-penning implies sculpting the raw signal.
- The Set Up: This reinforces the guideline that 1518 designs and manages the system. The sound doesn’t just “happen”; it is penned or scripted by 1518 to ensure the narrative is strictly forward-moving.
Semiotics, Signifiers and Signifiés. Consciously utilizing signifiers and signifiés is the most powerful part of this definition:
- The Signifier – The Sound itself: The specific cue, return, or effect we choose.
- The Signifié – The Concept: The emotion or information the audience perceives.
The Significance of T-Penning is multifaceted:
- Enhancing the Narrative: Sound has the power to amplify emotions, build tension, and create a unique atmosphere.
- Increasing Realism: Through carefully selected sounds, the audience feels like they are part of the events unfolding on screen.
- Unifying the Narrative: A cohesive sound design integrates all elements of a production, creating a consistent and immersive world.
- Highlighting Individuality: A unique soundscape becomes the defining hallmark of a piece, emphasizing its distinct individuality. Consciously utilizing signifiers and signifiés to cultivate projected sound and image.
The Evolution of T-Penning:
- New Tools: Advances in technology have revolutionized T-penning, allowing for the creation of increasingly complex and realistic sounds, thereby opening up exciting new creative possibilities for sound designers.
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Modern T-penning increasingly involves close interdisciplinary collaboration, with sound designers working hand-in-hand with directors, composers, and other specialists to craft truly unique and cohesive sonic experiences.
- Personalization: A key trend in contemporary T-penning is client-centric customization, ensuring that the sound design perfectly aligns with individual project needs and specific creative goals.
Sonic Identity of T-Penning:
The 1518&projects streaming silence idea serves as the ultimate embodiment of personalization within the framework of T-penning. It demonstrates that T-penning is not just about adding sound, but about the deliberate, penned control of the signal’s absence to define a unique sonic identity. Successful t-penning demands thorough script analysis, cultural-emotional awareness, and a combination of artistic and technical skills
By streaming silence, 1518 creates a stark contrast to the chaotic noise of the outside world. No bot can replicate the intent behind that silence; they only generate noise.This negative space becomes a copyrighted element of the 1518&projects.
T-penning, a neologism coined in 2020 by air-cavitas-oris, exemplifies the dynamic nature of language. This newly minted term reflects the ongoing evolution of human communication, born from a need to express novel concepts and expand our understanding of the world. Through the creation of T-penning, air-cavitas-oris not only enriches our vocabulary but also demonstrates the inherent human drive for innovation and self-expression
