I liked the idea of posting something unfinished that "leaves room for something else" and that has potential for collaboration. I know the instructions suggested instrumentation, but I thought it might be interesting/fun to go the musique concrète route and see if anybody might be interested in joining in. Inspired by the photo, I recorded the sound of chair legs gently swaying on a parquet floor. I then looped a section in Ableton Live, and worked on creating a progressive effect that would fade into noise and grain and give an abstract sense of time, or of the object getting older and consumed. It can be considered a rhythmic track (in a very loose, soft way), so looking forward to hearing what it will be matched and layered with.

There's something intimate about improvising on someone else's creation, while at the same time not knowing much about them and enjoying no physical proximity. This was a very interesting and enjoyable experience.

For the second part of this project I chose to work with tigrinya's track 'An Old Rocking Chair'. I was very attracted to the processed textures of the music box, which I feel projected a sense of time passing on the surface of the object. So I focused on adding to that sense of time passing on a more 'macro' way by adding two different synth pads. The first picks out the A-E-D pattern in the track, at first following it quite faithfully, then slowly detaching and improvising. The second pad comes in halfway through the track, and is sharper in texture. 

I chose to quietly complement rather than come in heavily, and leave space for the beautiful micro textures of the object. Headphones recommended.
