CREATIVE SOUND PROJECTS (Element 1) – PART 1: CREATING THE CONCEPT AND SEEKING IDEAS

Our collective release will consist from various sonic works summarised under common collectively agreed concept – stepping out of our comfort zone.

I have been questioning what it will means for me as a sonic artist and music producer and couldn’t find the solution for quite a while. Then I have realised that I should probably create something different than I usually tend to create whilst also use different techniques, different instruments and tools as well as divert myself from the usual sound which I naturally incline to.

My usual music production could be described as dark experimental electronics leaning into industrial with a lot of ritualistic percussion. It has usually very slow BPM, a lot of metallic sounds, deep atmospheric ambience and not really a firm structure in terms of composition.

As an example you can listen to the EP ‘Theatre of Plague’ released on The Judgement Hall Records in 2022 below:

I have decided to create something where I will do the most of steps and creative decisions in exactly opposite way than I would normally do, think or would be drawn to.

I have recorded my own samples from very few items present in my room at the very moment and used as least instruments possible. In terms of composition I decided to make something adhering to the grid and following bars in contrary to less structured tracks, with use of absolutely no metallic but rather organic sounds. I also went for way more faster BPM than usual.
