The score of the film bird man by Antonio Sanchez is a big inspiration to this project, I love the use of live drums as a soundbed for narrative and emotion, this is something I definitely wish to endeavour into for this project. Also for me rhythm is freedom, the drum kit is the humans most common connotation for rhythm combined with the freedom motif I am going for it all makes sense that the live drum is going to be a central element of this piece. I will mic up a drum kit fairly loosely in the style of 60’s free jazz with minimal mic’ing and see where we go!. this combined with live samples will make for an interesting experience for me as both the performer and the listener.
