Week 10 – Development blog

The uncanny sublime blends elicit feelings of awe and unease or discomfort. With relation and analysis of the uncanny sublime, i’ve thought about ways in which i can make my project more strange when listening but also evoke that feeling of exhilaration. My thoughts are to include strange noises and sounds/ songs layered within the distorted music. For instance, i found this creepy Ai horror amusement park ad from the 1950s that i want to layer within some of the music on the cassette (i will include the link below). Other ideas i have for the moment will include mixing strange commercial sounds, and mixing the audio in distorted ways. I had originally planned to include a short film segment that integrated ai technology to visualise the sounds that i create. With feedback from Stephane, i’ve decided not to follow through that that part of my project. She was right, including a short film on top of  what i’m already doing would be too much. its better if i focus on the audio part of my assignment since that is the main subject. focusing on too much might take away from my idea and theme i wan to convey. In Maggrite the uncanny sublime Max Ernist points out ‘reproducing only dreams in painting is restrictive and the artist should ‘move freely, boldly and confidently at the borderline between the inner and outer world’. I like the idea of moving freely between two worlds, within my own project i want to highlight the importance of connections within my personal experiences by adding some of my favourite songs and the external reality by telling the passing of time through sounds used in leading decades.
