For my creative sound piece I am going to make a piece of sound that would accompany my essay. I am going to mix together and slow down some of the songs that made Chicago drill what it is today and add my own twist on them. I am going to slow down and strip specific frequencies from the songs and try to turn them into a more ambient piece.
For the piece I have been inspired by artists such as Brian Eno, Merzbow and GodSpeed You! Black Emperor. I have been listening to these artists a lot in my own time and wanted to create this piece with them being my influence.
I didn’t want to make the piece too long and I wanted to make it as long as a regular drill song (2-3 minutes). It was quite hard to make the piece memorable because it was only that long.
For this unit I have mainly focused on the essay and that has taken up most of my though process and I sort of left the creative sound piece to the end as normally I find making sound pieces a lot easier. I found writing the essay really difficult as its hard for me to direct all my attention onto one thing. Overall I think I should have directed more of my focus towards the sound part of the hand this part of term instead of focusing on the essay.
