For the Disquiet Junto project 0083, R#d#ct#d. This piece uses the image of the redacted declassified document (see link below) as a graphic score for the sound. My approach was to treat the score conceptually rather than literally - to focus on the process of redaction generally rather than to interpret the specific properties of this particular document.

The source audio that forms the basis of this piece is a recording of Edward Snowden's statement given at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport on 12 July 2013, made available by http://soundcloud.com/optinick under a CC-by-na-sa license here: http://soundcloud.com/optinick/english-shortened-snowden-july , a version that has been edited to remove the Russian translation, based on a longer recording available here: http://soundcloud.com/frank-forrester-1/full-edward-snowdens-statement I liked the idea that the source audio had already undergone one process of redaction. Furthermore, Snowden's speech was interrupted by loudspeaker announcements in the airport.

The source audio was processed using a technique I developed recently which inverts the dynamics of sound. Using the routing and parameter control functions in Reaper, the output volume is controlled in inverse proportion to the incoming audio amplitude. The result is that the gaps between Snowden's speech become the loudest sounds, while the sound of his voice is muted to inaudible levels.
