I went with minimalism for my art movement, inwhich i tried to re create the movement as it was intended. By using a sample kick and a few bass notes, i tried to make what i thought minimalism would sound by using minimalism techniques such as silence and a simple beat to create this art movement. i place only a few different bass notes into the mix as to show that it is simple, maybe too simple, and a kick to give a beat. there is silence in the middle section and bcause of the simple bass beats in no particular order it gives the affect of no structure as it is only 1min long.

remix- placed K.Perry's voice on ACDC's back in black in an attempt to clash two different genre's being pop and hard rock. as well from different decades to try and blend them together. Although im not very good with mash ups and remixs. slowed down k.perry's voice to the same BPM as back in black so that the song won't sound to out of place. Even though i slowed down k.perry's song it seems quiet out of place, as they jsut dont clash together properly(probably cause they're too different). Tried to clear the different space between the two by removing alot of her vocals. I was trying to create a mixture of two totally different songs, I believe by doing so have created something that maybe too different for most people's likes. But things like this may become popular one day. like how rock songs are remixed into techno songs and movie themes into concrete pieces. by adding perrys voice i hoped to achieve a different twist to normal pop and old school rock.

Paying a tribute to Russolos art of noises. by creating industrial everyday noises into a mix by having highway sound scapes acting as like distant drones and whistles, which everyone hears on a daily basis. Putting in engines running, creating a constant humming/buzzing. Opening and closing of a car door to give a banging imitating a snare drum(percussion) hit. Because of city people spend their time traveling in their cars/traveling in general, I thought I would show how their everyday noises are not jsut noises but can be musical. Industrial sounds are the same as musical sounds being that they have a rhythm(sound of train on the tracks) chords(the engine's collection of sounds). The highways sounds replicate that of a synth with its drones. These sounds can be heard as music, just most people don't see them as music, just noise.

For the journey recording I decided to gain a perspective that shows how city people attempt to escape from the everyday hussle and bussle of the city. I recorded this at an rsl which is next to a train track. Half way through the track a train passes by the club producing a large amount of noise and rumble. In between the train there is ambient noise coming from people and music in which they sound quiet relaxed. From this recording, I hope to show the journey of how city people escape from their busy life to escape to a utopia.
