In connectioon with the topic of censorship, the research and question of the value of something that it's worth it to stay as it is because of what and how it is. So in a way something related to self censorship ?
There is a structure in the text used:
- if we censor art, what is left to discuss?
- but
- what is right
- not to
- nor to
- or to
- to
- \+ verb* [*variable]
The basic structure that should be kept in the played piece have to contain:
1. First line [the refrain]: if we censor art, what is left to discuss?
2. Container of the text: 2 "but" [one after the first line & one as the final line]
3. The text
### input
collectively written text and audio recordings
### tools
mini-microphone, Ableton, Audacity, Rack
### process log
## brainstorm
- pick a topic we want to write about
- pick a method we want to use
- start writing together on the same pad
- edit the text & proofread
- experiment audio recordings
- experiment with rack and our voices
- find the right method
- create a drum machine
1. record fragments
2. split them up in different audios
3. position audio recordings as notes
4. play!
#our usage of the notation system and the creation of the piece
1. pick verbs already divided in categories from the original text + the repetitive words
2. play around and create a rhythm out of them [see the fragments]
3. between the verbs, insert variations of what is right not to
4. add first line and containers [but]
5. done!
#export mp3
### output
instrument
audio piece
