Notes on Nathan's sound homework

Track 1 & 2
Short clip of preacher

Track 3
David reading (The modernity of est lubricates est)
I’d like to see some of the photos from Catoosa here—sandpipers, river, etc.

Track 4
rechanneling of sexual mores

Track 5
similar to track 4—could be the same?

Track 6
Grant reading dig down deeper along with Mindy reading new text (“Deep long rolling”), rain in background.
I see how Nathan is drawing parallels between the two “deep” poems.

Track 7
sermon, Tulsa movie, rig sounds
Too much of the sermon??
marriage (reminds me of the “Interesting Facts you may already know”)

Track 8
“Dot dot dot”
Grant reading from “DavidNathanGrantMindy”. The long chords from Tulsita (taken from Tulsa movie I believe)
Mindy reading from “Deep long rolling”.
cellos?
Great use of sermon in this one, though I’d like to hear more of David’s voice reading our texts than repeats of the sermon stuff from Track 7
7:07-Indians singing Jesus song (more of this)
7:30-David reading “The modernity of est lubricates”—I think we could use other texts rather than repeating


Notes:
I’d like to hear more of the “music” you were making when we were writing
I do think we need to read more of the poetry we’ve written
More oil derrick sounds?

Notes on sounds

070515 Wakow Listening Notes

New processing of some old Tulsita sounds, from Tulsa movie. Nathan feels strong about using this. (Flatlander high)

One track he played while we were writing, Nathan produced from an acoustic guitar (canal’s rending)

Nathan suggested that each chapter have a real broad conception of how we are using sound, not just as soundtrack or layers or background music.

Original key of Tulsita chords in original key (contrails)

Acoustic guitar, sounds at first like violin picsicado (Rabelais guitar); vaguely religious sounding,

Nathan suggested giving us each homework, a 3-5 min sound that we have to put image and text to.

Fluid sounds, low register morphs into high metallic sounds (overload guitars)

Sound of water (trickle)

Oil pump (oil pump)

Nathan reading and grant over embers sound (after fires)

sermon in downtown Tulsa, culled references to books ie OK divers manual (more light or not)
Tulsa clips interspersed in Presby sermon (canal rendered)

long track, beginning with metallic buzz then fading into filtered oil pump sounds (slow pump fizzy)

salt water sound with some other old Tulsita sounds and Presby sermon

“sermonicity” –Nathan

The part with David reading on several tracks is already what I imagine the sound track to this movie to be.

The tryptich is very enticing to me because of the long religious history to the form.
