What I will seek to create within my work through out this project will be a series of compositions created in the style I am accustomed to composing in, a somewhat incidental background style of music. To further the perceptual and contemplative effect that I have always strived to create when writing and composing music and sounds, I will set the soundscape style pieces I make to a series of specific visual compositions, in order to attempt to create a synergy of senses. Whilst I have been creating demos of the aesthetic styles that I foresee the final finished pieces to have, I have become specifically interested within the ideas of degradation, I have been seeking to bring out the noisey unwanted element of images and sounds by re-recording them many times, re-filming the visual element, as well as taking certain audible elements and re-recording them across open spaced rooms. Through doing this I hope to bring the generally unwanted noise element of recording, to the fore of the finalized piece. With the visual, this leads to a certain amount of colour distortion of the original recorded image and a generalized heightening the contrast differences, and changing the given image of the world, I believe in general it can create a much more interesting set of colour dedifferentiation’s that seems to reduce the complex view of the world to opaque colour and movement representations.
It is my intention that the final product combining a incidental approach to the audible and visual perception will be able to be dipped in and out of as the viewer sees fit. I will seek to create a contemplative state within the viewer, or audience if doing live work, which I believe can lead the way for thoughtful imaginings of creation and nostalgia, which I will hopefully seek to mobilize further with opaque visual suggestion. I believe that the pieces should also be able to stand up as audible works alone, therefore enhancing my ability and chances of keeping music industry interests, while at the same time giving consumers the ability to watch my own personal visual interpretations of the works. It is my interest that the pieces be used to fill the void of the TV screen whilst it would usually be sitting there, turned on but almost semi redundant, in a scene which I have witnessed on many occasions, when people have friends round, or are reading, or occupying themselves with something which generally leaves their ears open for interested exploration.
