Since I didn’t decide to go down the pop album route, I started thinking more deeply about the things that genuinely interest me, such as musique concréte where unconventional sounds are used to compose music. Ever since studying music in GCSE’s, I have always been invested in how everyday sounds could be turned into something rhythmic and musical. With that being said, I, along with a lot of my friends, were cooking regularly at home, and being in that atmosphere made me think of a new proposal.
I wanted to film them as well as myself while we cooked, with the intention of collecting the natural sounds from those sessions and incorporating the chopping, sizzling, and clinking plates to use them as raw material for my production.
Coming up to the presentation of the first element, I was still unsure about the entire idea and if I was going to be able to achieve it. However, as I was creating the presentation and coming up with more ideas, I became more motivated when I realised that I get to explore areas like the sound, culture, and creativity through unconventional methods. I knew I didn’t want to follow a traditional approach like I have done in the past, but to challenge myself in the process to kind of prove it to myself that I could do it.
