Forum week 11

This weeks subject again was destruction and construction. The first presenter, Simon Whitelock discussed how people 'JACK' samples of popular music and either creatively build on the sample to construct, or alternatively loop the sample and virtually destroy the sound. He suggested that by using samples from popular songs increase the chances of success.

The next presentation was by Nathan Shea and introduced the forum to 'Black Metal'. This is a style of music where that could be described as Lo-Fi metal. He discussed the culture behind this music and related this Lo-Fi aspect as kind of deconstructing the music to create a new form.

The final presenter was John Delaney who spoke of created ambient soundscapes that install fear. He suggested that the music alone could not produce fear but it was possible with the addition of visual aspects. He played some examples of soundscapes that create this mood and then analysed some of the aspect that helped to create this mood.
