Hello all, here is my contribution:
Thinking & making:
The main difficulty with this assignment was the question: how to outdo an idea or image in my mind, which is always of unrealistic perfection, I’d say by definition. Anything that outdoes my imagination must have been generated by chance, otherwise I had thought of it. hmmm.
Maybe that was not what is meant. In any case, let’s think how spooky is different from scary or creepy. The main feature of spookiness is the unknown and uncontrollable, but still reminding us of something real, that just behaves somehow wrongly. Making music wrongly quickly results in noise. hmmm. Just make strange noises you hear in a room results in an audioplay. So I combined several recordings into a scene, which contains knocking on a door by an unknown entitiy and very strange singing and ambience to a strange, wrongly performed drumloop to return to the music. At least I expanded my techniques to make strange singing. phew. The result, in order to outdo my ideas, has to be not so pleasant to listen to in the dark. sorry.
Field recordings: binaural recording of knocking on doors in several rooms, geese, buddhist monk chant loop, someone singing strangely.
