I have decided to call the portfolio project ‘what the end sound like’ to represent to ends of the hypothetical field of my taste that I will be exploring in this project. I was originally going to call the project yin yang or taijitu (the original word for yin yang), since its like the oppositional idea, however I then thought that this presents the idea as too binary/ black & white, when really it is not just two binary options/ oppositions, its an almost infinite amount of axis’ in the theoretical field of taste. Also, I thought yin yang was a bit too surface level and obvious of a representation, and over simplifies the concept, as well as potentially being cultural appropriation, since I do not come from or even have ties to Chinese culture, and am not very educated or knowledgeable on Chinese culture or history.
Below I have attached the current prototype version of the project, I still plan to record more and make edits and for the final version , such as cutting more effectively between the minimal/ ambient side of the project and the hardcore intense parts of the project. At the moment it is basically 3 ambient type tracks Ive made, with cuts of the hardcore free jazz side interspersed, as if glitching from one side of this sonic universe to the other.
