Ultimately my plans and ideas changed a lot in some aspects and in others not at all over this semester. I knew I wanted to explore the affective qualities of the space I had. The event of the beating of bat wings eventually ended up almost dictating to me the kinds of textures and spaces I wanted to explore. Thankfully it was an event that tied in materially with the necessity of recording in stereo only

I made a work in classical musique-concrete technique using only fairly primitive techniques of EQ, panning, mixing, speed and frequency shifting. I presented this in the mid semester classes. Here is a long version of the piece.

I never worked out an efficient way to graph the structures of the sound and work with that. I intend to over the summer break and use it as a formal model for a series of works derived from this project. 

As it was this one sound became the basic overall form of the piece too. This is the isolated file of the bat flying past. This kind of integrational possibility that found sonic material can have is going to become a strong goal for my work now I think.
