This week, I finally started writing the report. Referring back through the earliest stages of the project, such as the presentations, the brainstorming mood boards, and planning documents really made me realise how far the whole idea had come.
What started off as a vague plan to use “chef sounds” turned into something way more thoughtful. I’m glad I ended up creating a concept album shaped by culture, food, and personal connection. I started working on the introduction and methodology and started to plan where I was going to be referencing stuff like Feld’s theory of acoustemology and Demers’ views on sample ethics, which were ideas that really helped frame the whole project in a more academic way.
I also mapped out the Literature and Art Review, where I plan to talk about artists like Matmos and Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, who have influenced how I use sound as storytelling. This part of the process made me realise I wasn’t just making tracks, but building something with real thought and intention behind it. It felt like stepping into that role of a reflective artist, one who questions the “why” as much as the “how.”
