“I use Ableton Push to arrange, structure and build upon the field recordings, layering them with new sounds to create different environments and soundscapes. Then I’ll use Ableton Live to sort out the recordings I did that day and make decisions on whether I need to edit, mix or cut sounds to create new recording timelines.
Sometimes I’ll manipulate the field recordings in Max/MSP, where you can get super-detailed and process the audio and samples in a more linear and unconventional way. Processing these sounds generates samples that I can use to drive new compositions from my archive of field recordings.
That’s why I like being a sound artist, because I have this sound bank of stories that I can always integrate into my music.”
