Altering my sound piece to focus more on my own life-rhythms and be less centered around the pleasant sounds around me has led to the realisation that I can no longer rely simply on concrete sounds to bring my sound piece to its logical conclusion.

It has also just occurred to me that I am in need of a title.

I digress.

Recording has begun of other, more textural sounds. I have arbitrarily decided to illustrate waking up in the morning with synthesisers. Falling asleep at the end of the day should also be synthesisers. I would like to illustrate moments in which the rhythms are broken (scrolling through my phone, losing focus on the task at hand, procrastination) with raucous harsh noises, probably heavily processed recordings of the tube (as that would illustrate another rhythm, that of travel. Perhaps I should be illustrating several distinct rhythms instead of an ever growing number? Waking, daily coffee, travel? No, keeping the scope wide enables a good range of sounds, although might obscure the repetition aspect inherent to rhythm? Maybe I should make small sequences of sounds, wake, coffee, travel, cigarettes, food, coffee, travel, cigarette, reading; and then repeat these motifs to illustrate that they are rhythmic in nature? All things to ponder…..)

Nonetheless, I have realised that concrete sounds alone do not suit my purpose, and that is what this blog post is here to say. That will be all.
