In keeping with the theme of going out of your comfort zone, firstly I used Reaper, a programme I am not particularly familiar with but have been wanting to practice. I found certain aspects such as being able to edit clip properties easily very useful especially for the phasing effect where I chaged playback speeds… Continue reading 6) arranging
5) feedback
Before the work in progress class, I made sure to listen through and sort my field recordings. I layed out all the clips into one track on reaper with the accompaning ambient recording underneath if it had one. I looked out for particularly interesting sounding sections and marked them. I also went and cut unnecissary… Continue reading 5) feedback
4) psychoacoustics
Partly inspired by Lucier and Reich I intend to use the beats and pulses picked up by the soma ether and phase them slightly. Though Lucier played with the acoustic phenomena, I think the ether creates a similar effect. In the inbetween as you point from one source to another the two drone like signals… Continue reading 4) psychoacoustics
3) soma ether
Having just finished the radio module I was even more intrigued by the anti-radio I had not yet tried. Being fairly new to field recording itself I was excited to use something that could scratch the itch for noiser recordings. I have been reading Paul Hegarty’s ‘Noise/Music, A History’ and listening more to artists such… Continue reading 3) soma ether

1) graphic score
Was given a blank A4 sheet of paper to create a graphic score. A daunting starting point with so many options, my mind was as blank as what I was staring at. Tata next to me had begun folding his paper so in a somewhat pretentious way to one-up him I began to rip the… Continue reading 1) graphic score
Week 10: Artist statement?
I am still unsure of what to call myself as I feel I havent established enough of a practice as of yet. However throughout these ten weeks I feel I have developed my understanding of the multitude of forms sound art can take and in this post will reflect on ideas I want to take… Continue reading Week 10: Artist statement?
IKLECTIK, In-grid: CHAIN
16 Nov 22 I recently visited this installation/performance/instrument presented at IKLECTIK. Made up of four input/output stations, the piece is organised as a loop representing a body obedient under continous labour in the digital realm. However, under strain the data being passed through the system degrades and breaks down. The non sentient machine quickly consumes… Continue reading IKLECTIK, In-grid: CHAIN
week 9: kitchen fridge
(in kitchen) find yourself in front of the fridge staring blankly at the door, take a breath (be aware of the yourself and the space) open the door / close your eyes take a breath (engaging your senses, consider whats changed) For this writing a text score task, I was inspired to develop the week… Continue reading week 9: kitchen fridge
Week 8: Hearing and Listening
I think the difference between the two is the level of engagement. We are always hearing (we can’t close our ears) but in day to day life truly actively listening can be difficult. I find myself often drifting between sounds becoming background to other sounds or thoughts, and conciously thinking about or noticing or being… Continue reading Week 8: Hearing and Listening
