Day 3 @ The Chinese Arts Centre
Finally I bought ‘Linda’ my friendly computerized voice today for my video piece I am slowly putting together. I got the final translation through today and enjoyed listening to the audio then had to work out how to digitally record it. Thinking as I do all around the houses I eventually recorded it on an edirole, which my friend had kindly lent me. The best audio quality with no atmos interference was in the bathroom, I had heard that a lot of musicians have done this is in the past and it worked. I am struggling to edit anything in the residency space at the Chinese Arts Centre as we are still prepping the walls and have lots of random stuff around us. We have put up Phil’s spreadsheet wallpaper on one wall and the door it looks fantastic although we hadn’t planned in prepping time and it is eating into my making time. Tomorrow I plan to work from home and crack on with sequencing the sound with the video. Phil and myself have been making up our own invitations that has taken up most of the day but I think it was worth it. People like to have something to take away with them, which an e-invite doesn’t offer. I managed to give out 50 last night at the Chinese Arts Centre, art auction and everyone really appreciated them. I have so much to do next week and we plan to have the space fully prepped by tomorrow. There are certain things I just cannot do such as physically marking out my performance in the space for the spoken audio tour until we finalize the installation. We intend to have another video piece of me running through the performance without an audience, a bit like a ghost.
