Contest for Destruction
Tang Wei

Each note here comes from a recording of a
piece of ceramic crashing onto a hard surface. I
extracted a millisecond fragment of the recording
and with each trigger of a note, the fragment
is played back many times per second and can
stretch out for as long as I’d like it to. Even though
the same fragment is repeated thousands of
times, with some effects applied it sounds almost
seamless and even unexpectedly teased out some
subtle details from the sound.
What I wanted most of all was to create something
that can provide sanctuary amidst the swirls of
daily living. And win a MacBook for myself.

※ Tang Wei likes the experience of sound and
music. He also likes likes and likes to like.
