Part of the degree project was to design the sound of an electric vehicle if it was inspired by electronic music. During my research I came to the conclusion that electronic music was considered the sound of the future once this alien (electronic) sound was combined with something recognizable (like human vocals). This contrast between the alien and recognizable was the key theme for the design language along with it’s audible language. So, the question was…what can we take from this electronic music and how can we use it? With help from a friend Gavin, I designed the noises the electric sports car would make.

Here’s the setup from the degree show.

Finally I’m done the degree project, I’m done driving between Umeå and Wolfsburg and I’m finally back in Canada with time to focus on updating this blog. Here are some pics of the physical model.

Here’s a scene from my examination presentation. I’ll be showing more very soon. Our exhibition is in a couple of days and then I’ll go viral with this work.

Here’s a sample of where the final degree design is going. I’m just playing around with graphics and moods for the report and presentations. Good times.

Just picked up the latest Intersection magazine in Germany and to my surprise our Nissan competition project was in one of the articles. Lovin’ that full page spread.
