2. I started by making a short piece with impulse. I used only my own recordings, mainly the ones we made for the first assignment. I then applied effects to this short piece to the point where the original sound pieces weren’t recognizable any more. I duplicated this track three times and applied different effects to them, and cut parts out and rearranged them. I used an effect called Redux – Kaputt. I think I even applied this twice with different settings. I also used PingPong delay and Beat Repeat. I then had a piece, about 1 minute 30 seconds, which I liked. I took that piece and exported it. I then reimported this piece to create the final composition. I edited the bounced piece once again and applied more effects. I reversed parts of it, transposed them and combined them with other sound files.
3. Since I used only my own sound files, I guess my piece would count as being pretty original. I wasn’t really influenced by anything in particular. Maybe just my past experience with electronic music or any music in that case… But I also don’t think that originality is only dependant on how much of the material used is your own. It depends much more on how you use it and how much thought and creativity you put into the whole process of creating something new.
