During the length of this project my role always tended towards the more physical making of the technology required to make our installation. Over the 3 weeks before the final project I had absorbed a lot of information on electrical and sound circuits. I had gone out of my way to find out as much as possible as the mechanical side of the sound fascinated me. This led me to build an amp which we would use to boost the output of our microphones as well as power the speakers for the installation. This meant when it came to creating the installation we could progress smoothly and quickly towards the end result instead of being tied down researching production methods.
Another small part of our project were some effects on ableton live. These were added to delay and distort the sound to create a sense of discomfort in the user. I spent some time setting up and testing for the best possible effects to put on our sound.
As with all the projects so far I have noticed that each person has their own idea of what the concept is. We may all have a general one but each member has something more they want to get out of the project. So when we came to write the group statement e all wrote out what we wanted and combined the better and similar points. This meant it was a whole group contribution rather than just one persons interpretation of the idea.
