Transcript

For the rebrand of Apple Music, we wanted sound to create the visuals. How do we take this idea of music and distill it into something visually beautiful? Essentially, the idea was to create the perfect sound wave. We take a frequency and we play it through a rig. This rig then moves a large amount of liquid at the frequency of the notes. We partnered with one of the world's best music artists to create the notes for the final mnemonic. And then we use that sound to create the visuals.
