I can not get this retarded mfile bullshit to work, I have now sufficiently spent way too long trying to get it to work. so here is a link to download it if you want...http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2K5E88SM

this song was what I was working on tonight, mainly the piano part, which might not be very discernible anymore, but I have been playing with parts I record on the piano and then I speed them up half time which takes them up a hole octave and creates these really beautiful happy sounding tones. sounds like no instrument I have heard before.

Sentient Plants (and other silent lifeforms)

I'm working on sound inspired by Roald Dahl's The Sound Machine. The story is based off the belief that plants can feel and even read the minds of other living things. In this story a man creates a machine to hear sounds inaudible to the human hear. When he turns it on he discovers plants screaming out in pain. This first sound I'm working on is water and all the critters that live in the water flowing over a dam.

hopefully these machines won't break

I made the last couple hours making this, it is a switch of sorts that will work in tandem with the machines to either side of it. This is having to do with tape, and will make it so these machines don't break, hopefully.

MAKING NOISES IS SCARY FOR ME

I have been trying to record my alliteration an repetition heavy language being played from a voice synthesizer and layer the sounds. But I really just like the look of these sounds I have written out phonetically to put into said synthesizer.

Then I got to thinking, if my language is literally unspeakable, it doesn't prove anything to have my voice synth speak it to me. If it is silent and written out phonetically, I am still hearing it in some manner, although it is really more of a beat. But I am likely hearing it better than a either a stammering human or computer could relay. It was too messy. I hate things when they get too messy.

So I have changed my project trajectory. I want my sound project to have NO SOUND. But I want to do everything to relay sound in a visual manner.

Since I think it is still important that the work is time based, I may work on a short animation that has subtitles in phonetic sounds. But I also thought about assembling a book, as then all the "magic" is up to the viewer. Time is still passing, they are still reading the sounds and they have to assemble the motion.

Could I make a book? I will just keep writing these sounds and drawing some pictures for now.

also something in english:
if alliteration is really an echo and can twist my tongue, are these families bats for eachother?
