Haunted Critque and My ideas

My inspiration.

I'm sorry to keep doing this. I live in Sledd and I barely get internet, I usually have to walk my laptop away to the common area-downstairs and through the hall- to get internet, cause we live on the end. My battery life doesn't last long... ANYWAY. As i said in class, i wanted to do an abstracted piece where the visual and physical parts of the elevator were transformed into sound, as well as the sound an elevator makes. I was inspired by the cinematic and I guess took a page from Disney (bleh) and it turned out to be like a R rated tower of terror or somthing. (maybe PG-13) I wanted a very abstracted almost anti-musical piece like the fluxus people do. I think my loop pertained more when it was by the elevator, but it evoked more of the intended feelings I had hoped for in the dark haunted hallway. The hysteria of the ghost girl probably added to it too.

Critiques

Ryan's was okay. His intention conflicted with his piece and hit set-up of the viewers. It sounded just like my car when I search for radio stations with all the mainstream music. It was pretty musically based.

Emily's stuck the truest to her original score, it did evoke an almost claustrophobic, unbearable feeling which is good if intended. The hallway was good acoustics for it, and i loved how it sped up and that strange clown fart noise was interestingly odd. it got a lil repetitive but it looped seamlessly.

In Will's i was lost at first but then i gathered a narrative feel. As if someone put a microphone by a boy and recorded the sounds of his day.

The twilight zone was good, it fit the hallway nicely. The totally random if I'm Alive was awesome and I wish you could've expounded on that, idk make the main stream artist zombified and twisted.

Gaby's had a lot of really good seamless transitions between songs. I really liked hers. The phonograph sounded like dragging bodies and make me feel a bit unconformable. It was sweet.

Leslie's piece was very abstracted and nice. Those mechanical noises were intense and mimicked the elevator very nicely. I didn't get the sun exploding, but that's because i was relating it to the elevator and not her previous piece about the sun.

KT's piece was soothing and nice with the random slot machine pieces, it would lull me into a stupor then yank me outta it. I really liked how she broke down the opera song in the end.
