How Dumb Am I

So, while watching Ono's RAPE on monday, two things occurred that basically "raped" my performance.

One is my fault because I should have used the restroom before the movie began.....no more liquids despite for us to drink massive amounts of caffine before each viewing.

Two: How about the rape of light, including cell phones! I came in late, so I sat in the back of the theater near the door. This is probably the worst idea I have ever conceived!! I wore my sunglasses in an act of defiance to the constant opening and closing of the door. And it did not even help out, so I just acted like Jack Nicholson and tried to play it cool wearing my sunglasses in the dark! How distracting, especially with the last three rows crammed with boys on their cell phones. Sorry to Yoko Ono for not allowed to have a chance.

Working Script One

Hello
This is an audio recording.
Notice the round tones and articulation in relation to the pronuncation of these carefully choosen words.
Also, my presence is absent
Funny how you can hear me speaking to you, and I am not there
Just my voice and nothing else
Please take comfort in this soothing moment
For it is fleeting
Good bye

I will probably keep amending this, but the script above is basically the general concept of what I want to say.
Also, I am struggling with the idea to do an accent....something proper obviously, but I do not want to do a full blown British accent. Proper should be the key idea though....something distinct, clear and rational in relation to the alteration of pitch...

Oh, the endless possiblities!

Damn that Michael Snow

After watching Wavelength....actually hearing it because the sound was much more entertaining than the images.....I realized that he has my idea. I would just be copying Snow's use of pitch, which starts out really low then high....really emphasizing on the wavelength of sound. Damnit. Back to the drawing board.....but the narration stays!!

Diary of a Film Student

Soon, the chronicles of my project, entitled GETTING MY JOHN CAGE ON, will be begin its web broadcast starting October 4th. I will be making a project through audio recording and editing that discusses audio recording and editing. The theme is minimualist because Carl said so. First, I will complete a narration, similar to the Singin' in the Rain performance when the talkies are introduced, in the first week of the assignment. Second, the recording will be streamed into the computer where, with either audacity, Soundtrack or Logic Pro (I cannot make up my mind!), I will manipulate the recording through the use of the pitch, highlighting the aspects need to give a clear, distinct sound through the derangement of the hearing senses. Basically, by highlighting one aspect of the audio recording, I will be creating anarchy. It will be like Gehr's SERENE VELOCITY, but for audio recording. Hopefully, I will be able to upload the recording by October 24th, 2007.
