Dear XPUBies,

  • yet another adventurous week of sound experiments lies ahead of us and since next Tuesday we will publish episode TWO already, we thought it would be nice to start experimenting with editorial approaches. So for next week's contribution we would like to invite you to work on "UNEVEN PATTERNS" as a common practice. We thought of this motto as a way to approach things rather than a content itself. So feel free to interpret or implement "UNEVEN PATTERNS" in your sound pieces. Of course you can continue to work on your specific interests and incorporate all the tools and methodologies we went through this week.

Please read the following notes carefully.

We hope you have fun with it! Your caretakers Carmen, Kimberley and Jian *

General Instructions

UNEVEN PATTERNS Intro and transitions between tracks will be taken care of by the caretakers

Recording

don´t get to close to the microphone to avoid pop effect / clipping if you get a square-ish wave in audacity check your settings / system preferences and change the audio input level when recording in audacity, look at the horizontal scale on the top: the maximum sound input should be close to 0 decibel but never actually reach 0 decibel (you will be in the orange-red-zone if you get too close)

Editing

try to make the most of your sound dynamics (eg. by using noise reduction filters in audacity, increase overall volume etc.) to get a more or less leveled volume for all contributions let´s try this: when you look at the horizontal wave scale in audacity the highest amplitudes of your soundfile should be very close to but never actually reach 1,0 (or -1,0). If that is not the case, please do some editing! export your final file both as .wav and as .mp3

Uploading

deadline: Sunday night 22:00 folder on the soupboat: https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/SI18/02/ please upload both your-names.wav and your-names.mp3 (if the caretakers need to do some final editing they can use the high quality .wav and do the compression to .mp3 afterwards) please check your files after uploading upload the documentation on the wiki: https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/Category:Prototypology#Documentation_Logs


For the documentation:

Documenting

template for your documentation: title (eg.: Emma in a garden) duration (eg.: 1:26) description [one sentence summary + how your piece relates to "UNEVEN PATTERNS"] (eg.: we want to record two parallel diaries of environmental sounds] score [prompt, general overview] (eg.: we record diary entries) input [raw material] (eg.: audio recordings) tools [used but not seen/heard everything /from tools to softwares/ used to obtain the material and modify the material] (eg.: microphone, audacity) process log [steps, process, curation] (eg.: 1. record audio 2. upload files on audacity 3. normalise effect on audacity; 4. export) output [public outcome] (eg.: link to recording) who? [the person/group that worked on it] (eg.: Emma and alex)
