The link above is a recording of ambience sounds called Matter Of Memory that was recorded on the 30st of December 2006 by Jacob Kirkegaard. the recordings were from his visit to the Island of the Dead in Venice which is a small island that is a graveyard.
I found this sound very interesting as you can here these distorted sounds from tiny battery driven music boxes that had been left from days before the recording. Jacob Kirkegaard points out that this caused them to play rather disharmonic range of tones as the batteries were running beginning to run flat. For myself this drives the mood of the recording into so much depth as it can represent time and how the living and also technology are slaves to it because nothing can live forever.
As dark as this piece can seem it still has given me inspiration towards making my own experimental sound because instead of basing my sound around certain objects and things I'm now more focused on creating my sound around a chosen mood. For now I'm considering using love and sex as moods for my project and perhaps make technology represent these moods like how technology has created a mood of death for me here listening to Matter of Memory.
