I’ve spent the last few hours reviewing many recordings from the previous three trips. Editing them down but not too much just getting rid of handling noise, something that I want to not have in the recordings. I’ve considered why. Peter Wright speaks about the recorder not being heard in his work and I’ve also considered why I’m obsessed with being silent within them. But I believe this composition has a better result when it’s more of the environment heard than handling noise.
I’ve filtered the Pre amp hiss on the Geofon recordings as the Zoom H5 didn’t have the right powerful preamps to push it, and I trimmed some recordings. I named them and put them into two folders. These field recordings will be used in the compositions.
The next step is to create some tape loops that work excellently and by that, I mean at least reads more than not read. The last tape loops are sometimes inaudible for a long period of time which on a small loop isn’t a good thing. So let’s fix that before my improvised performance.
