unnerving, hysteric, surreal – yet hopeful. The first thoughts that come to mind when I listen back to this piece. I remember showing this to people and being surprised at the response. People found this calming which very much surprised me. I do hear it though – the hypnagogic atmosphere of it definitely creates a calming sensation, yet my intention was to portray anxiety – to create an eerie mix of phobia and optimism.
Kwahy was an amalgamation of everything I have learnt and been inspired by so far – the use of soundscapes and synthesisers, tonal mixing to accentuate certain part of the piece and using smoother transitions. I feel like i was able to convey emotion better than I have ever previously been able to ever to whilst creating it – it all came very naturally. It was also a mix of everything I have felt since moving to London and starting the course. Im really surprised by how i portrayed the feeling so well – a lucid dream of surrealism – putting sonic emotion behind it so vividly.
Ive never really made anything like this before and I feel like the result was astonishing. Listening back to it is always so chilling. Personally, it always swells up the emotions i was trying to portray so well that the sound of it brings up every emotion. An amalgamation of the inspiration from all the visiting practitioners and everything I have learnt on the course so far.
