Hasan HujairiCycle0: Challenge 2 (Slicing Speech)This is my response to the second assignment for Tidal Club. The assignment essentially asks us to look for samples of speech and slice/cut them up in a way that makes it all interesting. In this attempt, I ended up trying out a non-rhythmic approach, trying to use the prepared samples as spliced tape. While doing this, I realized that by layering different samples at different speeds (at different volumes), that clear "sample cut" feeling is blurred out, making it seem like I am avoiding the assignment altogether.
The assignment is as follows:

About the piece:
The source of the texts used is a collection of short stories written by Bahraini writer Ahmed Hujairi. The texts are extractions from a short story series entitled “Biscuits”, all of which describe a metaphorical “Wall” that demonstrates many contradictory and oftentimes deplorable characteristics. The voice in this piece drifts between being a narrator (through the use of speech) and commentator (through the use of song/vocalisations), whereas the oud presents both a m...2015-05-3010 min
