You Smell of Bleach and Madness

By iran sanad on January 27, 2012 7:30 am

Right, a month in and still poopoo.
After getting over the Max/MSP fails and failed circuitry, I decided to build a few electret mics, but they didn't work properly either.
The material finally used was :
an old recording of a now non-existent singing bowl,
acoustic guitar (recorded using the electret),
air,
and I'm pretty sure a few other bits and pieces.
Everything else happened using a wiimote and Live.

This doesn't sound like me very much...I think. And I am not quite confident with it, but for some reason, I'm actually happy this time....kinda. it's meant to be kinda 'hypnotic'-ish, but that may be my way of saying booooring.
dunno.

I'm a bit sick of failed circuits atm.

Much thanks to Dr. T, for the help and patience.

My favourite part was when nothing worked. I also liked the synth loops at the end or whatevs. Hypnotic rhythm / texture.

Yeah...the synth loops are actually the guitar recordings :S but yeah I looooove things not working!

I enjoy the abstract elements of this track and the audible clicks  smile

Stop being so self-deprecating, it's off-putting! In any case, you're brilliant. The music you "want" to hear will come in time and with practice.

I find there's two kinda streams of operating, 1. having a clear idea in mind and seeing it to fruition; 2. experimenting. I like both approaches. I also like this piece, and the idea.

^ this. experiments often times yeild the best sounds if not entire pieces

@ poppi: your comment totally just made all the waiting on tables worthwhile!

Thanks guys! Much appreciated (:

Strange Atmosphere and nice concept ^^
I would say the same as Poppi, and that's why we are here! To make choice and tries!
