I’m starting to get a bit more into the fun stuff today! A big part of this project for me is working on my own development as an artist, and pushing myself to learn how to use different technologies to try and create the effects I want. It is so frustrating though when you’re trying to learn how to use something and simultaneously trying to do a piece of creative work with the thing you’re trying to learn..!
In this video I’ve got my cleaned up audio of the clock ticking, which I have looped in Ableton so it keeps playing over and over. I’ve then duplicated the audio file onto a new track (I’ve coloured the different tracks rainbow colours because why wouldn’t you) and slightly distorted the audio so it plays a little bit more slowly. This gives me the effect of two clocks ticking slightly out of time with each other, and you can hear the rhythms change as the ticks go in and out of sync with each other.
Just for fun, I’ve then repeated the process again and created another two tracks, each with slightly different speeds. I’m liking the effect you get with the three tracks playing together, but once you add a fourth it gets a bit messy!
