I’m not going to go into too much crazy detail about the project as I am writing an 800 word piece on it but I will use this blog post as a rough guide to my mind going into it.
In terms of sound design and audio quality I wanted my excerpt to have an immersive feel, something nice and reverby that really feels like it has space. In research I listened to some BBC Radiophonic works and saw myself loving the looping effects they had on their pieces, similar to the works of Steve Reich. I don’t know whether it’s my Hip-Hop background but I LOVE a good loop so because of this I decided it would be most fitting to include a loop of some sort into my piece. After deciding what loops I wanted to use ( the decision was definitely an emotionally based one, it actually had nothing to do with sound of the pieces itself, more what they meant to me) I began using effects and envelopes to manipulate them into something which brought the texture that I desired. Then I listened to the piece figured how I could incorporate it & it was done.
