Field recording is an element of Sound Art I am really drawn to and hopefully I can build these skills into a practice for employment in my coming DPS year. With Field Recording, you can’t really expect anything… Which is part of the fun, but like Ben Burtt has explained whilst talking about Sound Design …

Starting to think about how to approach the sound design for our Collaboration Project with Games Design. This video about the sound design for ‘Animal Crossing’ on the Nintedo Switch, is a great example of how in depth something as simple as sounds for menu design can be. What I find very interesting about the …

Running into difficulty mainly with choice of location for transducer, after trying the resonance of the speaker on various walls and stairs. The best source of resonance was on the floorboards of the hallway downstairs. If I attempted to use the speakers up the stairs where I had intended the piece to sit, it wouldn’t …
Transducers are now working better with help from Milo. Using 8Ohm Amplifier for 4Ohm Transducer. There is concern they may overheat and cause speakers to blow. But tests were fine. The sounds will not be constant so perhaps it will not cause a problem. Current plan is stereo recordings I settled on yesterday. L & …

Sound defines the space around us and it subconsciously indicates our distance from objects. The gallery is a social setting with rules and formalities. The presence of bodies in a space …
Catching up with exercises from the lesson last week. I thought doing this exercise on Soundlands Proposals would be helpful before attempting to write my own. ‘Small group exercise: Review these proposals. Which proposal do you think won the commission? Why? Reflect on this in 300 words in your blog. (Realisation, Process, Communication)’ ‘Berger – …
After signing up to an academic papers website during the build up to our audio paper hand in, I am repeatedly receiving new papers related to Muzak & Silence and their intermittency… “Muzak-Plus” was a phrase coined by John Cage, a decade after his mutual parts interest and disgust of Muzak led to an art …
Some very beautiful Sound Art installations outside by Max Eastley on The Wire. Max Eastley seems to be interested in the Aeolian Harp, and their works are reflective of this kind of autonomous, self sustaining sound piece. Each one captivating in its own way, some of the “Kinetic Drawings” remind me of Kinetic Art pioneer …
These bowls in water are great autogenerated sound art piece, the flowing water disrupts the pool of water, and the different sized ceramic bowls hit each other producing different tones. The guitar piece, is probably one of my first exposures to Sound Art. When I was in College, this was playing at The Barbican. I …
