How to be live-like? Showing intentionality within a bombardment of absurdist sound work.

In the process of mixing this project together I realised that it lacked a certain human touch, it didn’t feel completely compositional in its abstract nature. I pondered on how to make it feel like it had human intentionality to it, which was a problem that fellow group D inmate Travis turned me on to. Myself and Dean eventually settled on the two sections approach, the first being very Lo-Fi, encouraging tension and perhaps annoyance, which makes the moment that the second section arrives herald bliss, full frequency range and clear mixing intentionality. It’s one of my favourite techniques within music – tension and release, and I’m glad that it came to my rescue once again.
