my guess at the 6 you’re using

  1. 0. Dark
  2. slow morph click light (all pics) 
  3. 6. Two mystic chords (lady sitting)
  4. sentences into  Nigerian drums. (Maude) 
  5. 14. Ticking busy time sparkle quicker. (Flowers) masking identity.
  6. Abstract black and white. graphic road signs pic 7 or 8. Funky jolt beat.
  7. into bit from week 1 of tune with 8 counts music from week 1 (Abstract graphic picture) 
  8. 2 images Venice pic curves of wave, undulating out door, improvise mash up.

These sounds are extremely experimental, there is a long way to go, you may not like any of them and that is totally fine. You may want them faster or slower, or just a bit of one of them. You may use recorded music and show me things you like and we can develop from there. I have to go through many trials and errors before things start to shape. I need to sleep on these and I’ll wake and probably change them all but this first post just gets me going.

 

8 slow beats that you did your activity to last week.

slow chords that you popped up from the floor to

My first idea for the lady portrait with the red background

The flowers. its quite messy but something may come tomorrow.

The Venice water piece. Not sure what I’m doing but I’ll sleep on it. I’m not keen on the high sounds.

First very abstract vocal improvisation response
