Disquiet Junto Project 0683: Space Shot
The Assignment: Combine reverberant and non-reverberant.
This weeks prompt immediately gave me the idea of combining an inherently natural reverb sound with a guaranteed unnatural, reverb-free sound.
The natural reverberated sound comes from two layers of a field recording of a church in Vienna, recorded in October, which provides ambient noises. The naturally guaranteed reverb-free sound consists of several layers of yesterday's WebSDR recordings, which provided rhythmic and melodic components.
The reverb-free sounds here start with a lot of synthetic reverb and end as they are in reality. The church was stripped of reverb from the beginning with two layers of RX10 de-reverb, which is gradually reduced until the natural reverb of the church dominates. Mono/stereo and panning followed these ideas. So at the end of the track there is a naturally reverberant church and the WebSDR noise, which comes naturally without reverb.
I particularly liked this contrast because reverb indicates spaces; a church is more than a space, as a sacred space it has its own spatiality, so to speak, in Karl Popper's World 3, which contains ideas as much as art. The WebSDR signals seem spaceless, and yet they fill the expanding sphere of their propagation – and the signals itself may transport meaning and ideas from a World-3-Level.
Yes, perhaps a little bit over the top, but that's what I liked.
