Mits's's Hackpact
It is just a toy .. phew 😓
Scattered thoughts, desires and gestures that need to be united (a bit)
Parallel experiments, that occupy my soul :O
1. Reading and annotating Situated knowleges by Donna Harraway
pad experiment with body and embodiment in python
who has a body?
2. Python script: Re-using the prototype that joseph and manetta made for getting sounds from the freesound.org library. Obtaining all the sounds with the entry point "body"
import freesound
import IPython.display as display
import time
import sys
client = freesound.FreesoundClient()
client.set_token("I9hnJgZKfaxnWEz0YEwPcjjVYLYYuqBDnBBPUv5R","wZupevhDwA6jIfOgzUgn")
def slowly(s):
for l in s + '\n':
sys.stdout.write(l)
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(1./100)

3. A reflection diagram of past important projects and a diffractive reading through them
1. Occupations in P-P, creating an archive or oral narrations to reconstruct spatial memory. Important matter the use of verbal language. What if it is equally important the non-verbal use of sounds, as body movement, timbre, tempo, silences, tone of voice
4. Editing sound
The different steps for sound editing
1. Define the archive of sound
a. Import recorded sounds I have made the past months, to create an archive. Try to categorise them with different logics b. Try editing already existing archive of sounds . example freseound.org library
2. Editing methodologies
From prototyping exercise in Special Issue 18
Loop exercise
Make a sound piece of 30 seconds based on loops. What does it mean to repeat something many times? Does the rhythm of the loop vary while looping? Why did you choose to loop this specific sound? Use one or multiple short sound files, which you either record yourself, generate with audio software like Audacity, or find online.
Cutting exercise
Make a sound piece of 10 seconds based on cuts. Where do you make a cut? Why did you choose to cut exactly there? How can the cut become a writing tool? Use one sound file, which you either record yourself, generate with audio software like Audacity, or find online.
Stretching exercise
Make a sound piece of 30 seconds based on stretching. What do you want to stretch exactly? How far can you stretch your material? Use one sound file, which you either record yourself, generate with audio software like Audacity, or find online. Involve at least 3 different ways of stretching in your piece.
Reversing exercise
Make a sound piece of 10 seconds based on reversing. What is the difference between reversing, inverting and (re)turning? Does going in reverse mean going back in time? Use as many sound files as you want, which you either record yourself, generate with audio software like Audacity, or find online.
