About the Process
/
If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience.
American Composer- JOHN CAGE
To Harmony and Beyond?
The concept of the project aimed to make listeners aware of the variety and range of sounds that we are constantly surrounded with and what we often find troublesome - can be music too, if you only listen closely. Every sound has a certain rhythm or melody which was really interesting to figure out.
All synthesizer sounds were made by using the particular sound and making wavetables from the soundwaves itself
These were further post processed to create the sounds
All the drums such as kicks, snares, claps and hi hats and crashes were made by either finding sounds that sounded like them or by finding the fundamental frequencies of each of these drums and cater post processed
Most of the atmospheric sounds were made by stretching the samples and playing with pitch and reverb
We wanted the sounds to be so different from the source material that it would make people question whether this was really possible
We wanted to showcase how far you can take things in sound design just by using a single sound and open the ears of people to see from your ears and hear the music in your everyday life.
