In trying to find a second project for this module I’ve toyed with the idea of something site-based and something industrial. Annie suggested looking into the work of Emptyset. I listened and found the aesthetics of the work extremely appealing and decided to look into their process and the way they approached their creative practice. Specifically their lectures with Sonic Acts where they talk about the work that went into Medium. My first method of experimentation was to do a response, sort of attempting to recreate the sonic textures/aesthetics without the artistic context.
I went in with a very vibration-heavy recording of an acoustic guitar I had from a sample library and ended up going in a very dronal direction. I feel the structure of their usual tracks is of course not there but it was a step in the right direction in trying to create the feel. I think for whatever form the site-specific piece does take it might share some similar aesthetics but that is of course very subject to change depending o the context of the piece I end up making
