The group Experimental sound piece

As a group myself Eddie and Ron came together to find an adequate way to somehow fuse the ideas which we had planned for the group composition, We realized that the elements of each of our individual pieces were varied and very different in our application of sound. In order to fuse each of our individual sounds together we placed each of the different tracks on seperate channels at the same time . We then changed its frequency to allow each one of them to be represented in our composition

Below is the END result

The Individual Piece

So over the last 2 days i have worked on an experimental sound piece based on the atmospheric environment of the auckland city, In this experimental piece i aimed at shifting the attention of thesound away from the conventional music style too which i am familiar and focus on the non rythmical sounds that surround us on daily basis, Some of which we may not be fully aware of.

The piece in which i composed is based on two distinctly different mannerisms and state of minds. The first i deal with is relaxation ( a feeling of ease and inner satisfaction). I run through a flowing water stream which with its relation to the thought pattern of the human mind inhibits properties of PEACE and TRANQUILITY.

I then show how a build up of little subtle indisgressions can take affect on the sounds that portray uttermost piece and illustrate that just like the human mind is not shielded by thoughts of anger aggresiveness and general loss of control and well being. We allow thes small sound to then become the dominant factor in affecting our thought pattern and it replaces our true self .

This is the case till we release ourself from the issue, have a moment of silence and recompose ourselfs to become the better of the two emotions.

This journey starts with a free spirit a mind of innocent thoughts and basic belief, it the progresses to being influence by an atosphere or surrounding that incases evil in this case but this is signification for CHANGE... This change in this emotional experience turns into torment and self de-meaning sound,Irritation high pitch Panning between channels are ideals that show this principle. Then there is a minor time when the sound breaks that the mind reconfigures its thought pattern and returns to normal :)


KEEP it LOCKED

Sound Walk in Auckland City

The sound walk was a very different experience for me, in a natural situation the human uses all of its function in its daily interaction with everyday life, this means that all the senses are used to the needs of the tasks we seek to accomplish, Sadly this also means that we sacrifice the probable potential powers of the individual senses that we have, We are unable to know how strong the potential use of senses like hearing,sight,touch and taste can be pushed.

I see the that people with disabilities that impair hearing are able to use there sight with greater significance to understand the happenings in their world, they depend of the furthered pushing of their sight senses to relieve them of the issues that they face.

In the same way the sight impaired are forced to look at their hearing capabilities and maximum potential of its use.The fact that their mind focuses all their energy into this individual facets accounts for the reason to believe that their hearing abilities surpass that of a human not suffering with these impairments

The sound walk to a degree gave us this same chance,To take us away from our normal focus of a shared use of the senses in our daily interaction with the worlds environment, It helped us to refocus and hear with a difference due to the fact that there is a portion of the mind which is shifting energy intentionally to the ear as a major tool of sense...

A worthwhile experience may include proceeding to perform such an aact in different times of the day. This will help irreguate and vary the sound result

I Phone APPS

So in the last month we spent the majority of our time making and configuring the different features and applications of COCOA programming.

As a feature of this work we completed a i Phone Stopwatch . This was a beginning excercise that would help us solidify our knowledge in the course, This came with a climax application that ended with a paint program that we made in conjunction with a weather program..

Good but hard learning
