For us art has to be really special.

It allows people to really be creative

on their own level.

We're giving people a service to show

things that are very meaningful to themselves.

My name is Ashik Mohan.

My name is Janelle Mohan.

And we are Born Of Sound.

We originally met, actually, in kindergarten.

But we've know each other really from high school.

So, Ashik is a musician as well as an engineer.

We were looking at that static wave form

that you see when you're doing audio recording

and really started asking the question,

what does sound look like?

What does it look like if I could really see it.

That kind of started us on this journey.

It's not static.

It's constantly moving.

It's at once chaotic

and we looked at nature and we said,

What in nature is doing that?

One of the main areas we looked at were fluid dynamics

and how does water move?

We said, let's take sound,

let's take that energy that sound creates

and let's put it through that process

and see what it looks like.

We started the process about two and a half

to three years ago, now, out of curiosesity.

It wasn't until we were actually pregnant

that we decided we wanted to see our daughter's heartbeat.

When we created that sound-form we showed our friends

and they were like, Oh, my goodness.

I want my daughter's heartbeat.

I want to see my wedding song.

I want to see my dog's bark.

It was then that we really realized

that once people see it and they wrap their minds

around the fact that I can see my sound

it blows them away because the options

are really endless.

You can really create this meaningful, personal artwork

from any sound that can be recorded.

We realized to make it into a really polished piece,

something that was very artistic,

we really needed help from someone who's business,

you know, that's what they do.

The Intel processors have actually

completely, for us, opened the doors

for our business.

We have the flexibility of the Intel two in one PC

to be mobiles between our home as well as our studio.

Even sitting outside having a cup of coffee,

still able to answer emails or work

on some social media aspects.

Their processors allow us to

take these enormous files of audio

that we get from all around the world,

in different languages and different formats,

and create beautiful sound-forms.

By allowing us to provide these deeply personal

and meaningful custom artworks.

We had a soldier who was overseas who contacted us

about creating a special sound-form gift

for his wife for Christmas.

He wanted to create something for her

where she could feel him with her

and something that she could look at

on the wall and know that he loved her

and cared for her and was thinking of her constantly.

[Ashik] One thing we'd love to do, going forward,

is do a further exploration

into the actual sound waves themselves.

So, maybe 3D print an actual sound wave.

We're actually working on that.

Another thing that we're looking at doing

is working with other organizations

specifically for those who are hearing impaired.

There's something about our artwork

where you can see something that you can't hear.

It's just a way to being a sense to someone

that may be missing so that they can experience

and still have that deep connection to that artwork.

But also to that person who's giving

that message to them,

giving them that moment.

Intel really powers our processes.

What we feel are absolutely spectacular pieces of artwork

that you're gonna be proud of

to pass on to generations.
