Creating my own Sounds.....

I loved doing the video to the sounds of Michael Jackson but I wanted to create my own sounds and my own mood for the videos. Nothing too original to using Thriller! It was time to move on! Over the weekend I recorded alot of different sounds. Breath, Double Bass, Wind, Fire, Gravel and Waterfalls!! I started with the breath. I like to idea of using the breath as it is our breath that moves us. In dance and yoga we try and move with the breath. If we move with our breath our movement flows. Freeing our head and our body! In the video below I have mixed the sound of the Double Bass. Eleanor is actually playing a section of Thriller:) I love the deep sound of of the Double Bass, when the bow moves over the strings in a certain way it sounds like the breath. In this video I have mixed the Double Bass with recordings of the wind and me walking on twigs. All the sounds mixed together give a feeling of movement and a dark mood. If I could it would all be part of an installation where you are interacting with the sculptures, the video is projected onto the walls and you are surrounded by the sounds.....not quite yet though!
 




In the next video, I have recorded the sound of water and waterfalls as I walked along a stream, I have mixed sounds of the double bass just playing long deep notes and getting different effects with it. Tension is added in parts when the bass is plucked and the rhythm changes.

 Love mxing sound, video, and 3D. Hope to do alot more with the music Art Collaboration idea. Looks like i'm going in the direction of installations..
In the video below, i've mixed voice with a sounds like a clock ticking, the sound of footsteps on gravel, wind and water. Eleanor is just singing 2 lines but each time they are repeated im slowing down the sounds and the video, yip i know it gives a pretty creepy feel to the video!
