EARLIER
Taught SC3 this morning, worked on ways of manipulating field recordings, great fun. Some students were so into it, others are starting to get a bit overwhelmed by text-based sound making. It can be pretty hard to make that leap from looking at pictures on your computer to making the pictures in your head.
NOW + LATER
Off to my favorite cafe across the road for a solo work session, brain-storming several new projects. I'm really into this idea of composing again, not performing but just composing. Now my medium is not live performers, but CD. Of course there is nothing new about this idea, but it is the first time I've felt so focused on just making a single product, to be distributed. How refreshing to not focus on the live elements, only piecing together and correlating sound. Speaking of nice sound work, the audio component of the Wunderland unframed exhibit at Stedelijk Bureau was one of the best sound pieces I've heard in a DVD project. I could have spent the whole afternoon just watching and listening to the piece on loop. Well, in fact, I did.
