CONSTRUCTION \ deCONSTRUCTION

CONSTRUCTION: i created a multi-track recording from sounds of a guitar, piano, glockenspiel, and bottle
deCONSTRUCTION: the tracks were played out through independent speakers creating a multi-track soundscape installation

1<i created both randomly pulsing sounds and sustained droning sounds
2<these sounds were layered using Audacity into a multitrack audio piece
3<the segments were arranged to resemble a rain storm
4<the tracks were mixed down into 5 sets of 2 channels each
5<4 sets of speakers were place throughout the room while the 5th set was reserved for the 5.1 system
6<the music was started simultaneously creating a multitrack soundscape within the ACTLab

AUDIO
