Possible Direction of Experimentation
Material Quartet
I would like to compose a quartet piece, then using transducers play material as each instrument. This way I am able to create a musical piece that has the sonic identity of the material found in the animated world.
There are multiple iterations of this technique I could try:
The first is Three suspended metal beams with transducers attached, with a bass transducer underneath a slab of concrete. I believe this will probably be the most successful version.
The second is two suspended metal beams with transducers attached, and a loudspeaker with soil in the cone. I believe the soil might add an interesting texture and bring a more organic colour to the overall palette, but this arrangement might lack low end.
I believe I will most likely end up mixing arrangements to find the right palette. The first order of business however is to experiment with material and transducer, I think it might take some time to find the right resonance for the composition.
