ISAMO was born out of a desire to bring motion design and sound design closer together – two professions that often overlap in the commercial sector, but rarely in the cultural sphere or when working on a tight budget. The aim is to create an archive platform of sound effects designed specifically for use with typical movements in motion graphics. The sounds, which are presented alongside existing videos, can be modified using various parameters to suit the user’s needs and downloaded locally. Visually, ISAMO draws inspiration from the interfaces of physical media from the early 2000s: the iPod classic, a direct reference to the sound archiving revolution, and the PlayStation 3’s XMB system, rooted in the world of video games – a pioneering and fundamental context in the development of the interaction between graphics and sound.
