First experiment i want to collaborate the instrument with classic of poetry, because while i investigating through therapy, i realize there isn’t involving any speaking voice, I want to be creative and when I research into the artwork “i am sitting in the room”, it reminds me of going to the temple. Especially with the crystal pyramid, it sounds very similar with the bells, some of them are utilizing gongs inside of the tempo as well. I found it interesting to use western sound therapy instruments to connect with Chinese chant sutras.
I have first find three generators and experimenting to create a sound set with these
Then when I put multiple tracks of the instrument together I find that the chant sutras might be too loud to remix together. Due to the reason all chant sutras have melody itself, when it is remixed together it sounds very messy and out of range.
I have experimented with using different instruments to create a sound set, however, when I converted the handpan to harmony it was very off pitch because the echo of the handpan was quite loud and long, it would misrecord inside of the midi track. Where the original instrumental sound sounds better, so l kept with the original design. While l was experimenting with the instruments, I also recorded koshi chimes and crystal harps. It was very similar to the singing bowl and the koshi chimes only sounded good when they were on by themselves, which did not match with my intention. So after I tried to collaborate with them, I gave up and removed them from my sound track.
Challenging: I have put in the Chinese chant sutras following my initial idea, but it wasn’t remixed as good as I expected, because I forgot that the chinese chant sutras all has a melody itself, which its very hard to create something new base on that, but I did not stop trying, I start to put with the gongs and crystal singing bowls, and l realize it works better with low and high frequency, but I does not go with anything in between, even with harmony.
