Sound Waves

"Everything we do is music." - John Cage

Creating electronic music today is easy with Garageband and other audio editing software. The samples below demonstrate some basic mixes: voiceover with Garageband soundbed; generated audio using Garageband loops and filters; reprocessed audio extractions captured during video recording sessions; combinations of audio processed by Internet software like Timestretch and remixed in Garageband.

What is not so easy is creating electronic music that stands out from the multitude of sounds we have access to hearing today, using iTunes, Youtube, or other audio file libraries of music like Spotify or Pandora. What about those who want to use sound to sculpt space, rather than create a mood, express a feeling, or speak out about socio-political issues? Taking an experimental approach to "sound art" is a way to cast a wide, inclusive net. Traditional recording and mixing of beautiful vocals co-exist with cacophony or even silence.

Soundfiles can be stored on free platforms such as Soundcloud and Internet Archive. Audio can be shared from these platforms as url links or embedded code. The samples below have been embedded in this website.
