The soundscape was built using only samples from our washing machine spin cycle, processed in Ableton Live, for the #CurrentSoundscapes challenge by Currents New Media. https://currentsnewmedia.org/currentsoundscapes
This week's theme : velocity vs boredom
– Find and record a percussive and/or repetitive sound from your environment and incorporate it into your piece at two different speeds or pitches. Please do not source a sound from the internet, but rather, find and use one from your surroundings.
(Each week on Friday at noon MT,  Currents will release a theme related to a 5-week cycle. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a short sonic piece on this theme.)
