Sound Arts Lecture Series (Week 6) – Adam Basanta
artist/ experimental composer from a rock music background; Works with real-time sound, reticent to what it means to record a sound. Interested in space separation uses ready-mades, interested in technology (entanglement)? The Loudest Sound In the Room Experienced Very Quietly -loudness as a conceptual sound experience as opposed to physical sound experience. A Room Listening… Continue reading Sound Arts Lecture Series (Week 6) – Adam Basanta
Ghosts and Hauntology
Some notes and discussion around the essay ‘Digital Ghosts’: Voice and Migratory Hauntings, written by Nermin Saybasili. There are a lot of ideas on the audio visual, how images and sound work together, but for now I’m just going to focus on the ‘ghosts’. The first few pages focus on the viewpoint I am looking… Continue reading Ghosts and Hauntology
Envelope Extraction?
I have been thinking of possible ways of achieving the effect Florian Hecker is using in Chimeras on the voice tracks. Borrowing one sound’s envelope and lending it to another sound.

What Does Space Sound Like? Like Harry Potter!
I recently happened upon a concert at the Royal Albert Hall that made me think about the relationship between science and art. Space Station Earth is an orchestral composition by Ilan Eshkeri set to footage from space provided by ESA (European Space Agency). Through strings, percussion, synths and human voices, the scope of the composition… Continue reading What Does Space Sound Like? Like Harry Potter!
Final Project
Quite different than what I aimed for starting this course. The main element that remained from my initial intentions was the use of common sounds from around the house. I was keen on tapping into the graphic score idea. I spent quite a long time gathering ideas for a video and trying things out with… Continue reading Final Project
