EQUIPMENT

today I bought myself some new equipment, as well as a book, in order to further my sonic knowledge, and improve/change my attitude and relationship with synthesis

ARTURIA MINILAB ‘mkll’
KORG ‘Volca Kick’

‘The Bright Labyrinth’ (Ken Hollings, 2016), recommended by Dr Milo Taylor

aural-diversities: listening in the present tense

A focus on the particular moment of listening now, inside a pandemic. Constantly considering the ‘moment’ of listening’.

-Noé Cuéllar (future vessel)

-filling the 360 degree space/sound field- the ‘planes of movement’

-distance + space (what do each hold to their own?)

-ambient, dynamic drone (performative?)

LFO/ADSR

-wave form dictates parameters

-SOUND/SILENCE (design)

-the approach (‘…as if…”)

-playing a role/persona/identity

audio paper: initial ideas

music/sound & emotions: is sound therapy?

why do certain keys/tones cause a psychological/bodily reaction and what is the science behind this?

signals in the brain. what tones spark certain responses?

-Foley (film)

-Call & Response

-sensory overloads (sound related)?

-sound & trauma-healing?

-sound baths & tubular bells

 -certain notes will blend well together because of the way the sonic frequencies merge together. The brain will automatically pulsate towards complimentary frequencies, that will compliment each other well, in order to form enjoyable & pleasurable sounds.
