I used the familiar
route as a starting point for exploration regarding space.
Using a telephone pick-up, which acts as a microphone, I
recorded the electro-magnetic fields. Acting as a radio
antenna for low frequencies, I recorded the ride on the EL
from studio to my home. I then manipulated that recording’s
frequency, making further recordings in Max/MSP by scrubbing
that sound file. Then, after making two smaller recordings, I
used those in conjunction with two versions of the original
recording to compose this piece.
I am
specifically interested in those items and sounds that are
overlooked on a daily bases, that are part of our space. I
find it interesting that these sounds lie beneath our
perception, but form a residue of essential daily processes,
namely, the daily commute. Using these sounds, I hope to
create a space and time (place) that is of its own.
