Comment:

Unrelenting, yes! Heavy with metallic and watery sounds, shiny. Wet. An uneasiness in the silence, especially after the first pause. Abrupt and forceful. Makes itself known, demands our attention. How did you intend for the listener to engage with this exploration? What do want from us or what do you want to share with us?

what do you have that can record sound? (phones, computers, tape recorder, a friend with a good memory)

collect as many as possible (at least 2) and place them around you

hit record on all of them

have a conversation with yourself (or a friend). yell, laugh, whistle, cough, cry.

stop recording

start recording on only one device

hit play on one of the remaining devices, wait 2 seconds, hit play on another

do this until all are playing

talk over them

yell, burp, scream, curse

once the last device has stopped playing, stop recording

send the file to someone who doesn’t need it
