Max Patch:
I really enjoyed creating the audio performance with June and experimenting with different audio clips and beap objects to create this dreamscape, dinner party scene. At first we didn’t quite have an idea for the audio performance, but we really loved the idea of doing a sound walk or some sort of soundscape that followed a narrative. I think we came to this idea of following the story of a person dreaming and then daydreaming about what they can’t do due to COVID: going to a dinner party with their friends.
We divided the experience into 3 parts: dreaming, daydreaming, and reality. I mostly worked on creating the ambient music and sounds in the background for all 3 parts while June worked on the middle section focusing on the shorter sound clips and visuals. We worked pretty well together, meeting up to see how we could improve our individual parts to enhance the narrative and to troubleshoot the technical side of our performance.
Overall I was pretty satisfied with the results, but I think we could’ve added more layers in the audio and extended the middle portion to add a bit more narrative.
