For my contemporary issues in sound arts assignment, I have decided to focus on the relationship between rhythm and relationships. I had been thinking about this idea for about a month before we started speaking about this unit, and after being briefed on the unit I realised that it was perhaps something that would fit… Continue reading the relationship between rhythm and relationships

oracle room proposal
My final proposal idea is based one the Oracle room which is a room in the Hypogeum (one of the worlds oldest standing temples).

A friend of mine who goes by the name Tony Bontana, has a project called SPEW, which is his hardcore punk/ experimental side project.

I had figured that because I already know all the information I want to talk about, and because I am constantly… Continue reading creation of audio paper reflection
aural cultures research 2
Another form of research for me was an interview from 2008 of producers/ DJ’s/ Innovators Ras G and DJ Sacred.
