a few seconds of a countdown at a small church
bowed saw (1.07 minute sample): Emmalee Hart
My father-in-law and I have been building a large 10'x12' garden shed out back. Using my Dictaphone, I have been snagging sound samples of floor paint being rolled on & of the framing work, and sending them into the 8-track for manipulation and arrangement. As they say in Feng Shui, "Placement is everything." To this, were added layers of my 14-year old daughter playing around on her musical saw for me. I ran her 1.7m sample through a 20 second looper and a wee sample of some friends from a small start-up church in Reidsville (The Fellowship) doing a countdown, and manipulated them into a "made-environment" with the live hammering & construction chatter of her grandfather and I.
I meant to have this done yesterday, but am finishing/posting late because it was a complicated piece (and because Tina and I went on a date last night).
