6) arranging

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

I have been reading Paul Hegarty’s ‘Noise/Music, A History’ and listening more to artists such… Continue reading 3) soma ether

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

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
