Maybe it was some other object that was nearby during that session that I momentarily picked up.…The second sample, that loops almost the whole length of the piece, was, I think, made by rubbing the hose on itself. But how I made such a sound with that dull hose is long forgotten.
I brought it home, set up a microphone, and played around with it.…The first sample I use here, a clicking sound, could easily be created hundreds of ways-pencils, twigs, chopsticks, drumsticks, et cetera (listening now, before posting this, I hear it as a metallic scratching, which I find equally perplexing). A layer of rubbery plastic wrapped in crisscrossed threads encased in another rubbery layer, this one transparent. Maybe 2002 or 2003 I was cleaning out an abandoned industrial site and found an interesting bit of hose (at least this is where and when I remember finding it). The item has been muted in the Item Properties panel and is there only to extend the end of the composition, so the reverb tail won’t be cut off. Note the single bar sample at the far right of the timeline. Reaper screenshot of “Quarantined”-draft 1. (The text will be toward the end of the post.) I would say it’s something of a random, haphazard examination of self-loathing.
My composition, the “poem” written years ago, has nothing to do with infectious diseases. Obviously anything from 2020–2022 with a title like “Quarantined” is about life with covid-19 as fact or metaphor.
