The result is a visually stunning representation of the audio, taking on an entirely new art form. WakefieldвЂ™s artwork has been described as a вЂњtruly unique visual expression of sound.вЂќ His creations begin by digitally manipulating, shaping, and coloring sound waves generated from a studio recording of a song. , the non-profit sister to Indiegogo, hosts the campaign with a crowd-funding goal of $50,000.

Klitzman says that he and the rest of the Soundwaves team just want to create something that can be a point of connection for music lovers of all kinds.

вЂњWeвЂ™ve got everything from hip hop, rock and roll, blues, jazz, TejanoвЂ¦ everything so far has been covered,вЂќ he says. Redman is pleased by how diverse the lyrics have been for the first batch of WвЂ™ALL bricks. вЂњItвЂ™s something that really fits within our model at Mosaic, which is to create a collective of different visual arts and music entities.вЂќ There are plans for additional WвЂ™ALLs in other cities and at future music festivals, but for now thereвЂ™s only one and it lives at AustinвЂ™s Mosaic Sound Collective, the sprawling music and art space founded by Dan Redman. , I think itвЂ™s pretty obvious if you look at our work and you look at what kind of charities we donate to вЂ“ all social justice focused, environmental justice, LGBTQ equality, womenвЂ™s rightsвЂ¦ a lot of our work is with refugees вЂ“ I think itвЂ™s pretty clear how we feel about the other wall being built in Texas.вЂќ WeвЂ™re not donating to any political campaigns, weвЂ™re not going out there and making any bold political statements, or at least any explicit political statements. вЂњ we take a lot of pride in saying we are an apolitical organization. вЂњI mean, itвЂ™s very obvious what the inspiration of this project is,вЂќ he says. The idea of building a large wall in Texas might remind you of some news headlines from recent years, and Klitzman says that while Soundwaves is not a political organization, the connection is not a coincidence.
