Macaulay has left me his completed soundscape but also a range of raw recordings as well. From an artistic point of view this is highly significant. Some artists will choose to present the audience with little or no interpretive information, some will not even offer a title. Why would they do this? Art is a contract between the creator and the audience. (although I am prepared to debate that point) The creator demands that the audience is not passive in the process, in other words the art is as much in the interpretation as it is the physical artifact. The absence of information ensures that the audience needs to work harder to make their own meaning.
However in this case we have the raw audio to work with; the artist has chosen to share his process with us and this to is a valid strategy allowing us into his creative world and rather than “spoil” the art he leaves us to ponder on his influences and editorial choices in a collaborative paradigm.
Thankyou! I had lots of fun with this, and i decided just arranging sounds together into some sort of order could create a story, and a sense of development! Really looking forward to see what can be done with it! and i wish i had more time to perfect it! But yes i am studying audio production and i love spending lots of time developing and experimenting with sound!
Macaulay – that there is one awesome collage! Very well done; I resume you are really into your audio? If not, you may have stumbled across a latent talent. Top work.
