Challenges

I did my first day of experimenting, finding sounds to use and what workflow to work at. I managed to generate some sound but there were a few challenges I need to work on.

I hooked up a few contact mics and made sounds using various objects in the church. This was successful and by recording a sound, then going back to my computer I could loop it and add effects to create more interesting textures. This worked however the process was slow, I need to have an effects rack ready and have some idea of the sound I want to produce. At the moment I have 4 contact mikes working giving me 4 voices to play with.

The challenges I’m facing are the lack of reverb created by the space. For this I will perhaps change the positing of the speakers and maybe add some small reverb to the effects. Also just working on the whole workflow and making a plan for the performance is the next part I need to work on.
