Hey, happy 400th! Thanks to Detritus to remind me to participate. I haven’t done so regularly in the last years, but since I was doing the 1st, I have to celebrate the 400th with you.
Here’s my contribution:
Process & thoughts: instead of entirely at random, I picked the part 8 of 9 because this one wasn’t picked yet (at the time I was looking for that).
While working on the track I realized that when I listened to the speech as if it was music, the speed was quite high. Word hearing-understanding seems to work a bit different than music hearing I guess. I like more slow music so that I can listen to all of the aspects properly. On the contrary, a slow speaker tends to annoy me when all I want from listening is to extract the information of the sounds. Therefore my result of making “score” to the speech, out of the speech itself, is a mixture of 1. ambience created from reverb and stretching 2. picking the main information from each paragraph which was related to the relocation: moved south- desert- city - hotel- and then the result: forget and live your life - sad. 3. the main information running parallel to the details, kind of like a second thought or a feeling of environment that your mind describes in a word. 4. some illustration of the sounds that were described to be heard at the hotel.
