Documenting the old angel performance was an essential exploration as I was working with various layers in the sound picture I had to see what this could look like I wanted to use my bottled instruments within the piece however I was open sculpting the sounds and visuals. I was experimenting with layers at home using pioneer DJ decks RC 30 LOOP Pedal vocal effects pedal and a projector. I also had experimented at college with the bottles, and I knew I wanted to create a multiple-layered experience moving towards performance reflecting on the simplicity yet complexity of the human experience of body feeling emptiness. Settling up took about 30 minutes I played for 2 hours. The visuals on the projector where the environment inside the angel was a great space high ceiling the room was black taking a projector and placing it on I saw that to use a projector I would have to use light material as the black walls would not enable the eyes to see what was being projected sat with my deck's laptop and looper and vocal effects was proofing to be difficult because of the tables it was all shallow to the ground unlike when I am at home and my table is taller so I can stand my layout is different this was the first time doing something out of my home like this. Why did I do this what was I in search of or trying to present this was essential like being in a space and being able to express the colours on my palette with what I had to some extent created needing a place where those sounds could bounce in wider space enabled me to see other possibilities of where the piece could go where I could take it . I am happy with what I recorded and continued to sculpt forward with the various sounds I was placing together.












Documented images from exploration at the angel 
it was great to set future things to think about layout as sitting down was not good 
for me . Although I got some results if I was more comfortable I think it would of been a lot better exprience .
