MALevolence
Using sounds found on freesound (from their website: “a huge collaborative database of audio snippets, samples, recordings, bleeps…”); recordings of myself/my voice as passed through various filters available on GarageBand; media recordings; and recordings of devices in use at the University of Colorado Boulder’s media archaeology lab (MAL), I created a soundscape aimed at taking participants from the front door of the MAL through to its back room, interacting with each of the spaces encountered along the way. The audioscape also called on participants to engage in a number of experiments in which I asked listeners to complete specific actions. These exercises entailed a mixture of imagining and concrete, corporeal tasks.
