crit

I was having a lot of trouble stepping away from a visual element so I presented an animation alongside my soundtrack which wasn’t successful, and I think the soundtrack itself was too busy and short. I got some feedback which shifted my thinking to look at the speakers as objects instead of simply something that was generating sound.

Notes from crit-

• eerie

• footsteps

• plumbing, dripping, echoey

• jumping dancing lines

• projected onto a wall

• digital animation

• contracting

• get a sense of time, pulsating like a heartbeat

• lines moving out and pushing back in

• there is a sense of life to the lines

• organic object

• there is an ongoing energy

• you can see each frame

• stop motion

• clogged/blocked

• dental floss

• anticipating something that’s about to happen

• dark eerie place

• conjuring a dark damp echoey place

• underground tunnel

• claustrophobic

• metropolitan, traffic, drains

• late at night in a city

• movement, a passage, tunnel, travelling in deeper through a space

• multiple speakers would be better

• reminded someone of the show at Buxton

• sound is coming from you like a video game

• Archie barry westspace, speakers in a wall

• Lydia Raman, sounds coming out of the floor

• think about speakers creating space
