The audio paper about The Chronic Illness and The Dungeon Of Polymorphous Pan consists of three main parts, made in different ways and at different times. The most interesting and humorous part was recording during the event itself, which happened on 1st December 2023. I interviewed random attendants and some performers about the Polymorphous Pan. All performances and interview with people during the event were done with Zoom H6.

The introduction and the interview with the curator, Neo Fung, were recorded in my room, upstairs above The Dungeon Of Polymorphous Pan (I am not sure if I mentioned that I have been living in the building since 2016) on condenser microphone Tonor TC20.

I have recorded enough material to create a podcast lasting 25-30 minutes. I had to really think about which 3 questions from the 7 ones recorded I would use for the interview. Although I wanted to keep the pace and form of the interview as naturally flowing as possible, cutting out a lot of stuttering made to fit more information for sure. I will definitely make an extended version over the Christmas break. I have resulted to modulate my own voice with pitch down and flanger on several occasions in order to emulate the voice of a mutant – mutation is after all an important part of the topic discussed in the interview.

LUFS metering was a tedious but helpful process. It pushed me to make levels right, and the whole piece sounds more cohesive than before mixing. I kept the loudness target under -23, which the free version of YOULEAN Loudness Meter 2 allowed me.
