final composition project for music 441–sampling & sound design at csu chico

unmasking

my final composition project at CSU Chico under private studio instruction from prof. David Dvorin. i sought to push my own boundaries in form and sound design for a medium-length acousmatic piece using as source material only Zoom H1n recordings i made inside my car while turning up empty AM radio stations to the max. i listened for interesting electromagnetic interference from the engine and accessories themselves, passing power lines, and faint leakage from nearby stations. thematically, i wanted to convey the turbulent emotions and sensory experiences of a solo night drive in the countryside used as an escape, while exploring the idea of a transmission as being a point in space traveled through and lost as much as it is an arriving message.
