My Proposal - Introduction

Here is the first draft of the first part of my proposal. I hope it makes sense and sounds interesting without going over the top with the lofty ideas.


‘The Sea....Take Me To The Sea’ places the listener into a whirlpool of sounds and textures, carrying them on a sonic journey through countryside to coastline as they follow along a small part of the river Tor making its way to the sea.

Using location recordings, synthesised textures, and multiple tape loops, I hope to create an open composition where sounds glide over each other, pushing one another in and out of phase and therefore, creating new tones as they disperse around the listening environment. I will purposefully set the individual elements of the composition so that the timings and structure of the piece vary over time, constantly presenting new harmonic and rhythmic relationships between sounds.

My hope is that, in this blurring of boundaries and structure, I can recreate the flow and constantly evolving state of water as it move around our planet and through our lives.
At the very least, This soundscape will seek to paint a sonic picture of our beautiful countryside and coastline and where the mix of sounds, some familiar, some not, will create a sense of harmony and peace for the individual listener.
