recording piece for week 1 release by emm and alex
identity card
title: "parallel recording diaries"
duration: 01.00-01.20 minutes x 7 files: around 08:00 minutes.
description: We made a parallel recording throughout the day: one of us is at home the other travelling, to create a contrasting experience. The purpose was oto create, through parallel field recordings, a feeling of displacement to the listener, that is positioned in one place and listening to what is happening in two other places at the same time.
score: We recorded, at the same moment of the day, the sounds around us, opening the recording with a documental description of when, where, and what was happening. Afterwards, the recordings have been mixed together: one comes from the right and one from the right, so that they could be listened to separately (two monos) or also merged (stereo), depending on the media used.
input [raw material]: field recordings
tools [used but not seen/heard everything /from tools to software/ used to obtain the material and modify the material]: two brains, a mini-microphone, a phone, Audacity.
process log [steps, process, curation]: 1. record the audio 2. upload the files on audacity 2. normalise, loudness normalisation, noise reduction effects on audacity 3. set alex on the right and emm on the left. 4. export .wav file
output [public outcome]: alexemm.mp3
who? [the person/group that worked on it]: Alex and Emm
the idea
idea explanation
make a parallel recording throughout the day one is at home the other travelling
"sit outside in a field and record the sounds I'm hearing // the other record the sounds in the house"
documentary: giving time date and place, eventually the action
set a time without a specific reason to leave things to go as they normally would.
contrasting experience
the result
it's happening exactly at the same time, but in a total different place
feeling of displacement
you are here and there
the listeners are in three different places at the same time (where they sit, alex position and emm position)
feedbacks
Sth that worked:
overlapping of voices
being in different places while listening (physically + mentally)
episodes format gives a lot of structure and at some point feel familiar
structure vs openness
it was clear from the start
contrast of situations
set the ground at the beginning to position the audience
layering worked well in the sounds mixing but not with voices that should be legible
liked the episode structure, was accessible
links to the environment worked
Sth that could still be worked on:
balance of sound of voices/volume of environmental sounds
moments of clarity/legibility of the approach
clear
timestamp (protocol) should be clearly presented
wished more confrontation between situations (could be because of cuts)
more listening between two contributions?
+
gives a rhythm to the whole piece set the ground at the beginning with the introduction
the different tones of voice position in different mental places
two people in a different place, home-travelling, contrasting experiences
episode structure
-
audio levels
time and place need to be clearer to hear, voices are meant to be legible
add a unified piece at the beginning like "day one" to set the space for the audience

documentation images taken when recording a piece
