So recently I pitched an idea that I have been toying with for some time, involving binaural recorded sound with a live performance musical aspect. Here’s how it went down.
// Binaural // The Pitch
Recording
// Elemental // Health Check
After hashing together a few ideas using the samples created on sound design Saturday, while the results were pretty interesting they didn’t really capture the essence of the project.
// Elemental // Studio Session 001
// Day 1 in the studio
So the purpose this afternoon is to increase the health of my assets folder for the project. I really find these types of sessions useful to start the ball rolling on a creative project, simply because I see it as a broad brush stroke on an empty canvas. Sure I have the bigger picture sitting atop the Iron Throne of ideas, but for me this important first step is about experimentation. Being free to those happy accidents that could you pass you by when your attention is too fixed.
Focus is good, but sometimes you need reckless abandon.
Sylvia Massy: Adventure Recording (Video)
This is an inspiring Sound On Sound interview with producer, engineer, mixer and author Sylvia Massy. Speaking on her creative process she well and truly throws the box off a cliff and takes pot shots at it with a 12 gauge shotgun. (This has some realism to it!)
I would highly recommend picking up her book Recording Unhinged if you are at all interested in inventive angles on recording. Mine will be in the post soon.
// Elemental // New forms
The fact that this project already has a name gives me some quiet confidence in its durability. I’m the kind of guy that has hundreds of unfinished projects stored away, named with every kind of permutation you could imagine.
“Untitled_001” and “The_Beat_V2.6” being some of the most easy to recognize…
