Early Notes on my Audio paper
soundscape. the sampled soundscape. the digital soundscape. the internet as a place
The KLFs chill out, plunderphonic soundscape, field recordings and procedural audio obfuscated.Escapism
Autoethnography.
Headphones move the listener to a place (like in that Arthur Russel) headphones and the internet.
Projection to a non-Euclidean realm.
I live in a room with 4 white walls and a computer screen. I sit in the room but look at the screen. I am situated in the screen. Change the desktop wallpaper and I am in a different room, yet the walls stay white, and the door is still closed. The sound of the room from my headphones; no reverberation, a waterfall of information. I soak in the water and open my mouth as the vortex flow drowns me. A VPN on the ocean floor.
use collage as the voice of the script. removes me, a reflection of online anonymity.

The Diggers song
You noble Diggers all, stand up now, stand up now,
You noble Diggers all, stand up now,
The wast land to maintain, seeing Cavaliers by name
Your digging does maintain, and persons all defame
Stand up now, stand up now.
Your houses they pull down, stand up now, stand up now,
Your houses they pull down, stand up now.
Your houses they pull down to fright your men in town,
But the gentry must come down, and the poor shall wear the crown.
Stand up now, Diggers all.
Not focused on compositional copywrite, more on sound itself as a material, in the use of collage, field recordings and soundscape
Like the archival tip-ex of twitch streams being taken down for ‘branded’ sounds
Autoethnographic element, Dad’s Fencing
Thoughts
Maybe a bit for abstract – cut up and assemblage – this mess of thoughts in my head – throw it all in a spliced sample. Dada yes yes
Maybe its important to mention the redistribution of sound/land only reduces the authoritarian control, it does not guarantee an ethical situation or lack of exploitation and pillaging through irrespecutful sample use
Maybe write a script and splice it in simpler w/ transient & random arp
My idea started out stationary, situated in a single place, but as It developed, and I wanted to link for themes, it became a journey, parallels to Chill Out
The aim is to add value,. Not just an aesthetic clunky bodging together but something that ‘belongs’
