Newspaper
Bradley Leffler
Minutes ‘ Seconds (Italic 11pt Arial)
The raw source material for this piece all came from sounds that have some kind of association with the newspaper, these being the sound of reading an article, the sounds made by the newspaper itself and finally sounds utilising the headlines written out and made into a filter for Meta Synth. All of these sounds were then manipulated to form different sounds that at least to me, represented the articles from the paper. The original concept for the piece was to have two contrasting sections, but the piece just developed into one long work with contrasting sections. Also relating to its form I’d originally had everything planned out but chance seemed to play a part in this as I had thought that I would start at the front page and work my way to the back page. Instead of this I tended to shuffle through the paper until I found an interesting story, then repeated the process.
The piece begins with two short articles relating to politicians. The recording of these articles were sped up and then a few sounds that were representative of the feelings they evoked were laid over the top of them. The next section represents the many different happenings occurring around the world at the same time. Sport then begins with a sound meant to reflect a crowd cheering and finally the last section is the culmination of all of these stories running around inside my head.
