[microsound] REMIX THE SUMMER
There seems to be such a wide range of sounds which are associated with
the summer and this seems to be equal to the diversity of the members
on the Microsound list. I’m sure that we could all come up with a rich
mix of ideas for a summer project. The sonic possibilities seem to be
endless.
One could go the memory route, and use sounds which are evocative of
summer - childhood memories - those endless summers of playing in the
streets or out in the park. And then there are the beach sounds –
hanging out by the sea - the sounds of radios - peaople playing
volley ball - the sound of suntan lotion being rubbed onto someone’s
skin - hey, even put a contact mic onto a surfboard and hit the waves
(now that’s gonna be an awesome sound!) Then there are the city
sounds. If you’re living in a council estate in the East End of London,
or living in Watts in LA, then you’re not gonna hear a lot of
lawnmowers (there’s no grass on a council estate) but you will hear
those urban sounds - people having a bar-b-q on the balcony – all the
windows are open (no air conditioning) so you get to hear everything
that goes on - the sound of empty beer cans hitting concrete - the
sound of a boom box - and guys rapping and beat boxing out in the
park. And don’t forget that the summer is always a good time to a have
a riot. Lots of potential there for a mix.
So let’s get going and do something.
Peace.
