The Noise Kitchen, Constraint #64
Cook using only the sounds produced by utensils and ingredients as a musical score. Nothing else. Record the result.
Reference artist(s): Luc Ferrari.
The protocol
- Choose a recipe that involves varied gestures… cutting, beating, boiling, pouring, mincing.
- Set up an audio recorder (phone placed nearby) before starting. Start recording.
- Cook normally. But be aware of the sounds you produce… the knife on the board, the pan heating up, the boiling water, the sizzling oil.
- Halfway through, listen to a few seconds of the recording. Adjust your gestures to vary the sounds… slower, louder, more rhythmic.
- Finish cooking. Stop the recording. Listen to the whole thing. Submit the audio on the site. Title: the name of the dish.
Variants
- Cook the same dish twice… once normally, once trying to create a sound composition. Compare.
- Do it with two people… voices forbidden, only kitchen sounds.
