About a Car Crash Part 1

from Elephant EP by Chris Dooks

/

about

These three works revolve around a car crash which took place at 5-6pm on Saturday 23rd of October between Mauchline and Ayr, Scotland.

The works were made during a day when the artist was still in some pain and bruising, but grateful to be alive. These three works, I think, quite authentically reflect a combination of gratitude and pain currently being processed on the day of the recording.

Composed, recorded and released entirely on Wednesday 27 October 2010 at home in Alloway, Ayr.

Equipment and software used :-

Antique Piano, Melodica, Voice, Rode NT3 mic, Sony PCM M10 digital recorder, iPod Touch running RJDJ using various scenes, such as "Ascend" by Dizzy Banjo and "Noble Choir" by Mike Dixon. Mixed in Garageband '09, Mastered with Bias Peak.

Recorded as part of a PhD about creative practice and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E. and also part of the "Record an Album in a Day" project at the University of The West of Scotland, Ayr.
