SOUND COLLAGE– Sound collage to me, is the breaking up and reconstruction of sounds, taking one composed sound and creating an entirely new one from it. I have experimented with sound collage before, using peoples voices to create one continuous story. It’s fun, and definitely something I would like to continue working with. The reason it appeals to me is because of this idea of creating something new, its hard to create something new especially when it comes to music, everything is a variation of every other sound, however with sound collage, because you’re using sources that don’t traditionally go together, you’re creating something unexpected and unique.
ACOUSTICS– How sound behaves in different spaces, although this isn’t something I know much about, it is something I want to learn about. Sound is an interesting thing and its behaviour with space is even more interesting. Why and how is it affected by its surroundings? I am interested in how architecture is built around sound- specifically buildings like churches, where sound isn’t their sole purpose but it is a very crucial part.
EXPERIMENTAL– Within both sound and film it is the experimental side of them that interests me, I like to not know exactly what I’m watching or hearing, that element of unknown is what keeps me engaged. I think most sound work is experimental as there is so much you can do with it, peoples artwork is them just experimenting, however experimental music is more of a defined thing. Breaking down traditional boundaries, exploring different genres within one piece, this attracts me as it is more music than sound that interests me but I want to learn about its more experimental aspects.
