Description

It's a fancy title to be sure, but it means little more than to refer to the "how" of the writing process. It seems that most writing techniques are heavily visual, especially word-processors which employ composition according to visual blocks of text. I shant be the first, as there is a whole field devoted to data sonification, but one of the uses of the loop network is to investigate writing acoustically. That is, using the loop network and my trusty handheld recording system, I hope to brainstorm aspects of theory using simultaneous spoken (and hence recorded) lines, which will then be reproduced and remixed as a multi-channel soundscape. In the event of remixing, I will transcribe the product, which will be edited and formatted for academic circulation.  If anything, this should prove an interesting studio exercise and hence learning experience and I have no doubt it will provide some insight into the theory to be remixed in a way that is fundamentally integrated with the practice I am concerned with.

This also has the opportunity to become an ongoing and evolutionary practice in the sense that over time, lines can be removed, added, and the repetition of the act develop a narrative further refining the content and hence concepts in discusion.
