Audio Vision: I Live in Movies

Quick answer: Audio Vision is Byron Jupiter’s name for how he takes in the world: eight senses working at once, hearing every moment of life as a scene, the way an engineer hears a mix in stems. He earned it over a lifetime in New Orleans, from his family’s service station to forty years at The Box Studios.

I live in movies. That’s how I feel, and it’s how I hear. Every millisecond of life is a scene: Foley in the footsteps, reverb telling me the size of the room, a frequency under every word that says how a person really feels. I read color and light the way I read a mix.

The eight senses of Audio Vision

Audio vision: the picture a sound paints before you look.
Foley: the small, real sounds that make a moment true.
Hearing reverb: reading the size and surfaces of a room by how sound dies off.
Emotional frequency intelligence: hearing the feeling under the words before it gets named.
Situational frequency awareness: catching what changed in the room: a new tone, a missing hum.
Color perception: seeing mood and era in color, the way you hear them in tone.
Light frequency awareness: feeling time and tension through the quality of light.
Millisecond processing: all of it at once, layered and timed, in the room and at the console.

Where it was earned

I didn’t learn this in one place. I earned it at the pumps of my family’s full-service Exxon on Claiborne Avenue, and at the counter at Dave Gerber Pawn Shops on South Rampart Street, where I learned the value of gold and diamonds. I earned it reading every credit in the record stores, and in the music equipment stores, the studios and in front of an audience as a kid.

I sharpened it at Full Sail Center for Recording Arts, Class of 1991. Then I chased signal through coax, fiber and light as an HFC and fiber technician, in frequency engineering, and as an optical internet technician on call. Forty years at The Box Studios put it all in one room.

Today it has a name: Audio Vision. Eight senses, one scene, unity gain. Nothing added, nothing lost.

Questions and answers

What is Audio Vision?

Audio Vision is Byron Jupiter’s framework for hearing life as a scene. It uses eight senses at once: audio vision, Foley, hearing reverb, emotional frequency, situational awareness, color, light and millisecond processing.

What does it mean to hear reverb in everyday life?

It means reading a space by how sound dies off in it. You can tell the size, shape and surfaces of a room before you see its walls.

Where did Byron Jupiter learn Audio Vision?

In real rooms in New Orleans: his family’s Exxon on Claiborne Avenue, a pawn shop on South Rampart, record stores, music equipment stores and studios. He sharpened it at Full Sail in 1991, then as a fiber and frequency technician, and over forty years at The Box Studios.

Can Audio Vision be taught?

Yes. Every sense in it was earned through practice in real rooms, so each one can be trained the same way.
