In response to the theme of tinkering, I produced a short piece of music using Garage Band. By making music made up of repeated clips of sound records from items in life: Switch sound, air-conditioning remote control sound, the sound of knocking on a paper box, etc., and edit these sounds in an unfamiliar application. I showed that everyday things that people ignore could contribute to creation too, and they may bring much more surprises and possibilities. This work was inspired by a loopstation video of Henry’s improvisation. He produced nice beats using sounds of hitting a beer bottle and kneading food bags, which are harmonious with instrument-made rhythms.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0F83O8qdOhY)
Ps: Some of the background electrical sounds come from Garage Band library.
