There are so many creative possibilities for this art form we simply can’t list them all!

Here are just a few ideas:

Soundwave Art

Now that you know what soundwave art is, how about customizing and framing your very own?

  • Record your message, sound, or music!

There are many online sites that offer several materials to print on and songs to choose from! You can usually even customize your recordings with your own voice!

Choose from different print colors, additional text options, and sizes for the perfect gift!

One of the best features of sound art or voice art is its infinite customization capabilities, you can truly make this your very own. Many soundwave artists can change the colors of the sound waves for your art piece. If you’re styling a calm and serene bedroom look for shades of grey, if you’re looking for more excitement consider vibrant colors or even gradients.

Many artists can change the wave style as well, making the waves into rigid bars or rounded figures. Some can even offer small QR codes on the bottom corner of a piece which will lead a QR scanner to the audio clip portrayed in the work.
