Disquiet Junto Project 0218: Sound Passage

I walk through a large car park as a short cut to my studio. A beauty salon adjacent the car park has promo video advertising cosmetic lip enhancement. As I was walking through the car park I could hear the music for the promo bouncing off the different structures. I recorded a short section of the music, processed and looped the sound, chopped portions of it to use as rhythmic melodic elements and added some piano to taste.

Disquiet Junto Project 0218: Sound Passage
The Assignment: Following the path of artist Kate Carr, explore sounds from a distance.

The artist and musician Kate Carr generously agreed to provide a prompt this week for the Junto.

Step 1: Consider the ways that sound changes as it travels across space, moving through specific human-built architectures and/or natural geographies. I live near Belfast’s major football stadium, and the roar that travels from the stadium, across the train tracks, up my street, and into my ears is a very different sound to the roar heard when standing in the stadium itself.

Step 2: Record a distant sound, and reflect on what frequencies have made it to your ears from the source, and which ones have bounced or decayed away.

Step 3: Compose a piece based on this recording, and your meditation on the ways its very journey to you has changed the sounds inherent in it.
