I got a brief mention on New Hampshire Public Radio’s program “Word of Mouth” for one of the production exercises I did last weekend at the Megapolis Festival.

It’s not exactly the most creative example of what I can do (or rather could have done)…but I’ll take the shout-out!

I’ll write more about Megapolis in an upcoming post (spoiler alert: I had a blast), but right now I’ve got to go cut and FTP some tape.

Here’s another one

Except I cheated and spent more time on it.

Here are the random clips I made it out of:

Zammuto – Solutiore of Stareau, Disc C, Track 4
De La Soul – Ooh feat. Redman
Robot Ate Me – Hi, Love
Juana Molina – Salvase Quein Pueda
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention – 9 Types of Industrial Pollution
Aphex Twin – Zeros and Ones
Killsadie – Perfect Sense ? (Track 1 off Half-cocked Concepts)
Fred Hersch  – Day Dream
Chad Vangaalen – Cronograph #1
Momento – Theme

The voice is from an audiobook recording of Ulysses, naturally.

I’m heading up to the Megapolis audio festival at the end of the month.  In preparation of sorts, I challenged myself to follow the rules of Ann Hepperman and Kara Oehler’s sound design game, Ten-Thirty-One.

It’s a game. And it all starts with 10 sounds. You, dear producer, have 30 minutes to mash those into a one-minute piece. Manipulate them any way you like. The rules are this: 1) All 10 sounds must be used. 2) The final product must be 1 minute long.

For source material I put iTunes on random shuffle and recorded the first one-two seconds of the first ten tracks it gave me.  Then I cut up the clips, modified, and arranged them in various ways for the next half-hour.

Here are the first two results:

…and look at what she gave me.  And I have the proof on tape: listen!

The recording is for the radio program, Interfaith Voices.  I’ll post a link to their interview after they broadcast it.

UPDATE:

Here’s the interview.  Thanks Katie!
