Group Meeting One

For our first group meeting we met at The Old House to discuss any ideas that had each come to mind. The main idea that stood out to us was that of Paul's which was to use the idea of "Sense of Place" to mean the lace inside our bodies. 

We talked about the idea of neurons firing and what sounds they would make. This started us to formulate an idea of what would our bodies sound like if we could hear every function they were doing at the time.To follow this we came up with the idea of creating the sounds of our body through industrial such as factories, trains, engines etc to create the image that we are machines and our bodies are built for functioning.

The types of aspects of the body we decided we wanted to create was that of things like blood flowing by using underwater microphones to create a large dramatic water rushing noise, for eye lids opening and shutting we would construct a factory door type of noise as a way of exaggerating just how noisy it would be if you could hear every aspect of your body.

From here we decided that we would each take out a Zoom microphone and record over the next few days different industrial sounds that we could piece together to create our sound piece that reflected our ideas on the body as a machine.
