Originally I recorded these source sounds in Rainbow Alley by placing the microphone in my hand and dancing around the space. I also pushed the microphone into nooks and crannies in and around the air-conditioners, collecting variations in reverberation, resonance and filtration. This file was placed directly into Ableton and then transformed using resonators and delays. This piece contains the natural rhythm of air-conditioning unit 5 (see Figure 11) that rattled in Rainbow Alley. I took advantage of this rattle with the resonator, so it can be heard as a kind of fast-paced, high-pitched rhythm. The piece also contains the deep chanting voice of a male, and a repeating female voice with significant processing for each repetition.
