Opdracht - Assignment! December 2009 Phonographers

Opdracht / Assignment: working title: Sundial Plus.

Record sounds from your own everyday environment over a period of 24 hours.
This could mean: at home, outside, in school, in the city, on the beach… a kind of audio diary.

try to spread the time of recordings over the day / night

Make sure you keep a record of exactly WHEN each sound was recorded. (this is sometimes included in the filename anyway)

We will make a piece compressing all our individual “memories” or actions over 24 hours into 24 minutes (or 48, or…?)

Use whatever microphone technique you like to make the recordings.
You can attempt to record "what your ears hear"
or use the microphone to discover previously unheard sounds..

You may choose a short piece of sound from a longer recording, but don’t edit a piece together from separate parts –
keep the flow of time as it was, and the fragments separate.

Each fragment to be maximum 3 minutes long.

Maximum 10 minutes of sound in total.

Once we have the material, we can present it in different ways. I can think of two - other ideas are welcome:

– as a multi-channel or surround-sound installation where the sounds simply start playing at the relative time they were made.

- as a performance where each player re-interprets the sound – either just triggering the sound at the appropriate time, or remixing or processing his or her own sound in real time – but always keeping the flow of time intact – using the original recording as a kind of score for the treatment.

Schedule for NEXT WEEK:

(microphones and recorders can be borrowed up until friday - see the schedule at the EWP)

Monday – 10.30 a look at ambisonic recording and spatialisation.
Tuesday – All Day: individual help if needed.
Wednesday - free for individual work
Thursday <> – ( afternoon trip to anechoic chamber with Raviv)
Friday morning: last meeting. backups. plan for presentation.
