I have been working to add more dynamic range to the soundscape whilst taking into account that it will be competing and mixing with sounds of the street outside Ellen Terry building when it is presented. I had some really useful feedback regarding this and was referred to the song exploder podcast , specifically the Jon Hopkins episode. Hopkins commented that he likes to work destructively, feeding earlier versions of the track into a series of effects to produce new complex sounds that become part of the track.

I tried to embrace this concept when working on this version of the track in two areas.

Firstly I extracted sections of Concrete Sound Experiment 1 that had been worldized and further layered them, the reverb and delay effects seemed to produce useful results.

Secondly I further explored waveform editing, I had initially been put off this due to the destructive nature of the edits. I have always enjoyed the idea of nonlinear editing as non-destructive as I felt free to experiment and try things without fear of breaking anything. Having listened to Hopkins I tried to approach the waveform edit like painting, pushing and layering effects and changes to until I found something that worked or needed to start again.
