New/Original Idea

OK, so all is not lost. I have decided to return to the idea I had over summer which sparked this project off.

It still involves magnetic tape, but being played using reel-to-reel players. I will attempt to create a soundscape using one single loop through 4 separate reel-to-reel players, positioned in the four corners of the installation.

My intention is to record a conversation between two people that relates to a scene created in the installation itself. I will record this in stereo, utilizing the pan feature, so that one voice is in the left speaker, one in the right. I will then record this onto a tape loop and attatch servo's to the balance pot's on the front of the tape players. These will alternate between the four players creating a three dimensional sound quality as the voices move around the room.

Again, it will be looking at alternative ways of creating narrative's within an installation environment.
