Audio Sigils utilize the idea behind a common drawn sigil and mix this methodology with the basics of musical composition to make an effective and pleasing sounding audio clip. Ideally, the sound of the sigil compliments and corresponds to it's purpose. The image to the left depicts the method I use to translate letters, spaces, and 2 types of punctuation into notes that can be utilized in audio/musical format.

Transcribed from my physical spellbook:

    Every letter begins as a quarter note.

    Sounds in the word are translated into chords, which are two or more notes played at once. These chords last for two counts or more, depending on the amount of letters used to make the sound.

    Sounds are visualized like in phonics, rather than purely syllabic. This breaks down the word further, honing the sigils accuracy.
    For longer sigils, syllables and other note lengths can be utilized as it suits the mood and message of the sigil.

    Similarly, the beats per minute (BPM), time signature, and instruments or voice used for the audio sigil should reflect the sigils intent.

    When following standard methods: shortcuts, taste preferences of the witch, and artistic license must be applied. Otherwise the sigil may sound lackluster, lack magical potency, or have undesirable effects.
    A spell is only as good as its caster.

    Notes that are doubled (i.e. two Es in a row) become longer notes without being chords. One extra count per repeat.

Remove Curse


The first type of audio sigil I made was one to remove curses. Well, technically, it was to "break" curses. But I felt this wording was too harsh, and perhaps could be misconstrued. So I made the intent more obvious in this second attempt at a curse destroying sigil.

Focus


The Focus audio sigil was originally made with the intent to help my friend with ADHD focus while unmedicated.

We want the vibe of the song to match it's purpose. This is crucial, and I feel the Focus sigil slightly misses the bar. With some minor adjustments, it will sound exactly as it feels to focus.

    As stated in the above image, the time signature is 5/4. Which I feel suits the needs of the sigil. I'm not sure if flute is the right instrument for concentration.
    I want to try again with this one, making a longer track that loops a few times. Test out different instruments and BPM.

Gorgeous


The sigil is meant to embody the energy of feeling gorgeous. I feel like the choice of instrument really captures the essence of the word.

Art Improvement


This one was created with the intention to help one make improvements on their art. It has a video game vibe, which makes sense since the intent is to 'level up' in artistic prowess. This one sounded better just using each letter as a note. I did create an alternative with the phonics chord method, but I don't like it as much. I'll share it below anyway, just for reference.
