1:20_04.30.2007: blue square

on a post-it are the five little things left to do to the film.

1. Extend NMR in tunnel smoking for overlap
2. Shorten sequence Brushing Teeth
3. Fade out @ end
4. fade in @ intro
5. Fade In to Exterior Wall


been typing a way on my keyboard in garage band. its not that i dont know anything about music, but i dont understand the tonal relationships well enough to make "music". because of this, the audio will most likely portray the nature of the film which, is completely appropriate. i envision solid tones. four of them arching up out of silence and down again like mighty swells as the piece moves on. over, or under these four sequenced tones is an even larger fifth tone that arcs over the entire piece. the problem is that solid tones grow stagnant, boring if not annoying as they progress through longer and longer spans of time. in some way, whether the tones evolve in complexity or medium, it must "do" something as it grows.

there are key moments in the piece that warrant some audio effect. gasp of air as the piece begins, heart bleeps on a medical machine at the start and end. sounds that accentuate the moment out of time that SDR represents. another position audio could be used is in the transitions from screen to screen. the four tones swell out to silence in these points so silence is a possibility. yet so is a look into the underlying structure. a metronome at 4/4 then 3/3 and so on. the piece, as its nature is one of many sided, inner, outer, phenomena, neumena etcetera, so the nature of the sound should move between "music" textural sounds and the exposure of structural elements.

the end Aural piece should then be something of a mess.

yes. that sounds quite appropriate.
