about

Piece based on tweeters used as part of a DJ setup from the National Museum of African American History and Culture (1990s).

"This treasure is named as Tweeters used as part of a DJ setup and categorised under hip hop music, which (semi-tangentially) led me to think about sampling....

Every sound in my entire composition evolved from a (heavily manipulated and treated) single sample (of Imogen Heap singing the short vocal phrase which can be detected weaving throughout the piece).

I made the core of this piece using a solo jam in endlesss.fm, including the stereo effects (as a response to the physical curvature visible in the image) before restructuring the exported stems using jamm pro and mastering it with final touch. All on an iPad."
