Inspiration
Last time I was in a cake shop. I was alone and I heard a man asking the vendor about the different cakes. He was standing there for long minutes and the line behind us was just getting longer. It was the Hungarian pastry shop and I’m a prime customer so I stopped him and recommended my fav cake. He was so happy to have a conversation and he immediately has chosen the one I mentioned to him. It was a very nice feeling connect with someone for a short time who you don’t know.
Personal weirdness and the method
I’m always traveling with headphones in order not to have my panic attacks triggered by loud noises. This assignment started with capturing those particular sounds on my way in the city which could potentially trigger. I thought the end result will be some kind of audio collage made out of these aggressive sounds. Listening back to the recording, I recognized that I accidentally captured people’s conversation who were on the same train. My very first idea was to interview people about their day on the street where I live, but I found it more direct than the previous “white sheet experiment” so I came up with this new one. But I forgot something, which is that the microphone is not judging, it’s not selecting. It captures everything as a whole compared to the recording person whose brain is selecting and filtering out sounds which s/he doesn’t need!
The end result is a non-judgmental audio recording from my day where I intended to capture panic attack triggering sounds but I ended up record people’s conversations sharing the same time and space as I did.
( you can also recognize that the waveforms are fairly different between leaving my house from Williamsburg in the morning and landing in Manhattan near 14th street )
