Breathe Cambridge has started up again with a new group of artists.We are in the middle of the third stage of the project which is focused on audio production. In this stage we are working toward a 24-hour-long audio installation, recording new voices and working with those previously recorded to create sound art. Every member of the group is responsible for making at least one hour of audio. We use an audio editing program called Audacity to put together a piece with the recorded voices. In this process we do a lot of independent work on our pieces but come together as a supportive group.
In my process I have found it really easy to produce a lot of material in the short amount of time I have to work on my piece. I start with the piano as my background and add voices over it that sound really good with the piano. But some of my sound is not from the recorded videos. I get poems from You Tube, which fit with the theme of my piece, and convert them into audio so that I can use them. I want my piece to relate to everybody, teens, kids, even adults. My ending goal is to have my piece be inspiring and not to have my audience feel happy, but touched. I think if I work really hard from now to the end of this stage I will succeed with my goal and get many compliments.
