Composition

I have composed my peice so that it links short clips recorded from my performance and is digitally manipulated using the same effect racks that went into the production of the music played at the show. I feel that the untreated and exposed feeling of the recordings is only emphasized when occasionally processed through digital means, fluctuating from the physical to the synthetic. In the recording you can hear screams of excitement and exhileration, my raw vocals over the distorted sound of bass, and the general presence of the individuals present in the room. I feel that this composition embodies my discussion of electronic music’s potential when employing the body as a tool to reclaim and rethink presence and social relationships. It is also a clear reflection of my growth as an artist as my second year of the sound arts course comes to its conclusion.
