Composed as the result of a 48-hour composition challenge presented by CESSA (Concordia Electroacoustic Studies Student Association) between October 16 and 18, 2020. Released digitally.
Participants set out to capture a moment of an EAST student’s group Zoom call and recycle it as a creative sonic expression of the COVID-19 lockdown time in October 2020. The group met and procured strange sounds that were recorded for use as source material in the activity – voices, objects, instruments.
A performative virtual ecology – the shapes and sounds of reasoning animals in pixels and samples. Participants had 48 hours to use the recorded Zoom call as source material to develop a short composition.
