Week 5 – Diffusion of our own work
Week 5′s lesson was an exiting one as it was time to start playing and diffusing our own music and hearing what other students have done too!
Chris B.D. had created a piece by recording conversations in his kitchen. I thought this had the makings of a brilliant piece, the vocal sounds which had been cut up, pitched and processed made some wonderful textures which sounded really cool when sent around the room. I think with a little more work this piece would be well worth an entry in the upcoming Bourges competition.
I got the chance to play some of my experiments with guitar sounds through the system, this was a really fun and useful exercise. Allot of what I had done sounded allot better through a bigger system and it also highlighted which sounds needed to be worked with further. Julio commented and I agree that some of the sounds lacked warmth which is something I need to address. Hopefully the upcoming TutorialCast on mastering will help as the mastering side of things is something I really need help with.

There were some truly good sounds from you this morning, well done ! nothing like hands-on experience, hey?
best !
