Since my last post I have edited the violin samples which I recorded, and have sequenced them in logic. I shuffled cards with numbers corrolating to the samples and drew them one after the other. This determined the compositional structure of the piece- akin to the chance music of Cage.
On Monday morning Ruth, Heather and I had the chance to work with the mixer in Helmore- to play our pieces to Julio, as well as learn how to prepare our compositions in surround. It was a good opportunity to hear how my piece through the 8 channel system, and my colleages enjoyed the ‘ambient sounds’ that I had used. Julio also commented on my sounds, but he disagreed with my reasoning for the structure of my piece. My first composition follows a much more conventional structure, so I wanted to experiment a little- however on reflection I understand that this leaves the piece without any direction.
I’ve uploaded my piece, so please have a listen and comment! Steve.
