Intermedia

I couldn’t do the color glitch because it kept crashing

Imagine something you could make while inside all day

Go make it

Repeat until we are free :p

Knock on all the wood in your house

Internalize the pitch and the tone

Imagine each different piece as a different intsrument

Play a concert for your family

Imagine the earth were flat

Speak a thought into four jars and seal the lids

Place each jar at each point on a compass

Which way will the Earth tip?

Going into the project, I appreciated the absolute randomness of the sample selection process. It was exciting to create something out of such a limited focus. That being said, I wasn’t very excited about my samples, because I got two of my own. But the others that I picked were very interesting. I started out trying to make something that uses repetition as a sort of rhythm, whether or not each track found the same beat. I used a lot of effects, changed pitch and speed, and reversed sections of samples to create a slow motion, dizzy, out of reality piece. I tried to combine busy sounds with intermittent silence to try and recreate the sensation of vision unfocusing and refocusing in a mellow, catatonic way. I ended up liking the way the effects worked differently in different places, and how the modified sounds maintained the feeling of time passing regardless of whether they were played forward or reversed.
