week 7: sonic material

three everyday sounds that contain qualities such as: rhythm, texture or pitch.

induction hob – pulsing, rise and fall of food cooking, slow repeating rhythm, sizzling and boiling, hob itself hums a bit too, meditative, ebb and flow

tap water – forced stream, on/off gulp, texture varies with force and also if its hitting the sink baisin or some washing left inside, bubbling, physical, gushing, uncontrollable

microwave beep – not the classic ping but a modernised high pitch beep, a signal, alerting, follows the boring monotonous whirring cycle of the cooking, evokes a release after anticipation
