drawing & interaction: starting point

As my starting point for AD138, I selected a piece of music by Holly Herndon which I was introduced to in a lecture several weeks ago. Holly Herndon composes her music mainly via her laptop, using digital programmes and methods to create computer-based work.

Her single ‘Chorus’ that I chose for my starting point ‘sampled her browsing experience on the internet’ by incorporating sounds taken from the web – I was drawn to this idea because I think its  a really unique and interesting way of making music and commenting on how much of our lives are spent online and how attached we now find ourselves to the internet.
