Compilation III

Third in the series - got my hands on a washing machine :D This is an edited version of the footage so I could fit it on here, so you get the most interesting bits in just two minutes. 

Ideally you would be involved in this piece, as participation is key to make it happen, BUT at least this video shows the sound and visual aesthetics. Got a lot of inspiration from Haroon Mirza for this series, loving his stuff at the mo.

Compilation II

Second in the series. Although I'm pleased with the outcome, it's probably the most "conventional" piece of sound art, given that it uses an amplifier, microphone and radio, which have previously been used by many artists to achieve interesting sounds. Saying this though, the film spool and straps of MDF do take you back to the slightly shabby feel of the other compilations.

The idea has been to deconstruct day to day objects as well, hoping to create sounds from putting them back together with other objects, testing how much sound can be made from object which we usually ignore the sound of or take that aspect of it for granted.

The quality of the videos have been a tad bit diminished through uploading them on to here, sorry!
