Notes on reading https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/deconstructed-club-music-understanding-the-avant-garde-dance-sound What on earth is deconstructed club? “it might just be easier to simply think of it as “dance music that isn’t too bothered about what the house and techno and tech-house lot are up to.” In fact, it might just be easier to simply think of it as “dance music that…

My plan for this assignment is to: Explore Deconstructed club and Its relationship to queer culture, its relationship to neurodivergence, and themes of Transhumanism present in the scene around the music. Reading list: Wang, Jing (2014). ‘Mapping an existential territory: an autoethnography of a sound researcher’. International Review of Qualitative Research, 7 (4), 486–501, doi.org/10.1525/irqr.2014.7.4.486. …

Pierre Schaeffer’s “Étude aux chemins de fer” is one of the first examples of a movement called musique concrète, created by manipulating recorded sounds, in this case, trains. This work broke away from traditional music by using industrial noises as raw material. Schaeffer used tape manipulation techniques like cutting, looping, and splicing in the creation…

“The power of the computer to help us construct the internal architecture of sounds from first principles allows us to broaden the concept of composer to include the notion of sonic sculpture.”(Wishart, 1996, p. 8) (My paraphrasing of this quote): Modern technology (particularly computers) enable us to design sounds from their most basic elements.

My vision is to create a conceptual world with its own lore and history, with most of it’s available material being audio. Some of…

For this blog, I chose a field recording of bearded seals captured with a hydrophone submerged about 5m deep underwater in Holmiabukta, Svalberd. I was exploring Radio Apree, and this recording in particular caught my attention because of it’s haunting, otherworldly qualities. I listened a few times to try and gain some understanding of how…

Experimentation Experimentation to me is about pushing conventions and boundaries, actively disobeying the prescribed ‘norm’ and exploring new territory. It is a journey of trial and error and error and error and error and often success does not lie at the end of the road, but that is part of the beauty of it, it’s…

Sound has fascinated me since I was young. I would often find myself marvelling at noises in the world around me, sound in media, music, etc. especially synthesised sound. I have strong memories of my dad playing Jean Michel Jarre’s music, particularly Equinoxe in car journeys, and I always found the soundscapes fascinating and would…
