05/03/2011: Notes On Sound (To no avail…)

* Brief notes made back in February, can bare them in mind...

I like loops because they provide a space, a parameter in which to work, as a piece of paper or a canvas. Loops provide rhythms of a sort, as we generally know rhythms to use repetition. A loop can be altered as it plays using effects or alteration of speed/volume etc. However they can also be used as sonic filler due to laziness. I want my sound work at present to be soundscape type stuff - mood sound of some sort. Rhythm is not especially needed for this but repetition of some sort is perhaps desirable. The repetition need not be consistent either; it could fade in/out once or more or could be tampered with as mentioned above. Voices can be useful in giving extra character for a piece but it should be something relevant/appropriate - perhaps consider using samples of my own voice though not necessarily obvious/dominant in the mix.

Boyd Rice and Frank Tovey
- Extraction 3: Nice changes in sound of constant loop (EQ filter of samples?) Too repetitive.

Cabaret Voltaire
- Doraseal: Voices through switching filters, delay, interference of tape play.
- Partially Submerged: Birdsong as atmospheric subconscious time/place positioning, speed changing of sample subtle and slight, important to have plenty of other sounds on the go
