Imploding Existence
My second foray into audio was for my Emily Carr Foundation Media Arts class. We were assigned a project to create a 2-minute “experimental” audio piece (re: no music). Utilizing Zoom’s H4 Recorder, we were instructed to record some sounds. We then had to bring these sounds into Audacity to compile and create our final audio piece. Additionally, we were not allowed to utilize anymore than three sounds.
I recorded myself saying part of a passage from the beginning of Tool’s Third Eye, which is actually part of a skit by comedian Bill Hicks. This recording was then layered multiple times upon itself and each instance heavily modified using Audacity’s editing tools and effects to create an extremely atmospheric and psychedelic piece. There’s some pretty heavy bass near the end when it’s reaching it’s climax, so CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED: watch your volume/subs.
