This project was a pleasurable experience to me and it’s something I feel will subtly inspire my future work in sound. Something that was quite outstanding to me was the use and implementation of the pitch shifter. Pitch shifting is something I’ve always overlooked; the act of manipulating the pitch on natural vocals never interested me in the slightest.
I’ve always been someone to generally shy away from the more “unnatural” sounds within my own creative work, and the idea of me creating something that could potentially fit into the “ultramodern” category irked me.
Nonetheless, this has definitely been an eye opener for me. I played the piece to a couple friends and both responses were entirely different. Watching the utter perplexity on their faces followed by an unpredictable response excites me. I enjoy being surprised by a reaction to something I’ve created, which is why I feel that this experience will most certainly have some influence on my creative decisions in the future. I plan to possibly expand this piece in the future.
Overall, I believe I’ve grown as an artist from this project alone and I’m pleased to have taken part in it.
