More sonic exploration today: so no easy listening I’m afraid. Again, I find it really useful to sometimes forget about notes, chords, phrasing, rhythms and just immerse yourself in sound. Get stuck in and have an explore. This is something that’s great to do with live acoustic sounds but if you work primarily with software, it’s also useful to sometimes just have a play around with the programs, effects and processing that are available to you. It all goes into the pot and could well prove useful when you need to achieve a particular type of sound.
At school, I studied art A level and my teacher there used to make me work very quickly and in media that weren’t comfortable for me. He was desperately trying to break me out of my comfort zone and make me become more creative. In the event, I went and studied music! But then at university, the same thing happened. We’d have performance seminars in which we were encouraged to swap instruments and create random improvised soundscapes. At first, most people’s instinct is to take the mickey but then what happens is that you’re silliness sparks your own curiosity and before you know it you become hooked on the creative processes that are unfolding. Well I did anyway.
