Perception Session #3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tasks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some items to work through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evaluating – where is your project now?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. I started by\u2026\u2026.:<\/li>
  2. This is why…………<\/li>
  3. And this is what I discovered\/learned\/imagined……….<\/li>
  4. AND then I did this\u2026\u2026<\/li>
  5. Because …….<\/li>
  6. And this is what I discovered\/learned\/imagined…….<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I started by considering how I might use my sense of hearing or sound processing in a piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is why I reexamined the Processing Language, started to look at what options I have for music syntheses, how to record audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, then I thought it might be interesting to explore spectrograms of selected audio extracts to see if I could see any commonality. On consideration, I felt that this is reverting to an “engineering” approach to this module, rather than really investigating the role of the senses. This is not a celebration of the senses; it instead becomes an analysis of how senses work and how they influence, which feels like the wrong approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, then I thought more about sound, particularly music, and how it affects me at a deeper level. I have pretty broad tastes – I graze through many genres – so it’s of interest to me to understand why music affects me in the way that it does. I am not a musician; I am passionate about experiencing music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Do I need to take more risks in my experimentations or investigations?<\/li>
    • How could my project be visualised<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      So, what do I want to do instead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Rather than analyse music; experience<\/em><\/strong> music. Use poetry, sketches, other visual media, etc. to somehow respond to and articulate what I experience when I listen to a piece of music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Not an interpretation of the music. A representation of the experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Perhaps the product of this could be a Twitter feed of work based on pieces of music? Or just simply blog posts on this blog, so I don’t need to work inside the 280 character limit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Poetry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      I will try poetry. So, an experiment with poetry as a response to music. Going back to Deadmau5’s Sofi Needs A Ladder<\/em>, a poem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Sofi Needs A Ladder\n<\/strong>\nMeeting mid-brain,\nLeft and right repetition,\nPlucking expectations.\n\nTempo rising unphased,\nSympathetic resonances move ever closer,\nTightening a ratchet strap in my headphones.\n\nThe terminus becomes visible.\nTwo halves unify and ascend.\nTranscend.\nUnify.\nSolidify.\nOne minute.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      Visual Media<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      Visual media is another option. Many visual artists have been inspired by music, including a recent project for the Interscope music label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      To celebrate Interscope Records\u2019 30th anniversary, dozens of renowned visual artists have created original works inspired by songs and albums released by the label\u2019s musical artists through the years.<\/p>\u2018These Artists Are Reinterpreting Music by Billie Eilish, Blackpink, Olivia Rodrigo, and More as Original Works\u2019. ELLE<\/em>, 13 Jan. 2022, https:\/\/www.elle.com\/culture\/music\/a38752208\/interscope-30th-anniversary-artists-inspired-by-music\/.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
