My one-on-one session with Gareth gave me two interesting angles on this project. In explaining my idea, I was shown two pieces of work. One was a video of a woman dancing with contact microphones that produced some very tactile body movement sounds. Potential avenues for exploring this idea in my work could include using contact microphones to record the sounds of skin, breath, and clothing and playing with the placement and movement of these elements within the octophonic space to create the sensation of a presence dancing within it. The second piece of work was a sculpture of a shed exploding. I felt that this interplay between stasis and entropy and destruction and cohesion were very interesting ideas to bring to an audio piece about dance and movement, especially when it is multichannel. If there are ways to potentially express both the inner and outer sensations of my dance style and movement and almost split the atoms of the physical sonic presence dancing in the octophonic space, it could reflect internal emotional and abstract physical states that occur with dance. My general takeaway is that my piece will focus largely on physical presence, the body, and deconstruction. I want to be able to align the development of my practice with the technical skills I have acquired through its evolution to explore these ideas.
