activating space soundtrack by MikeyRid

This is the soundtrack I created for the activating space project. It's purpose was to add to the atmosphere of the experience, to create a tension, and mystery. But after being in the space for a while, it was also found that it created a hypnotic peacefulness. The track was left on repeat for the full experience.

It was created with sound samples of the working process involved in the collective task of creating the space. This included sounds of sellotaping, cutting, footsteps etc. I reversed some of these sounds too, taking a nod to some of the great psychedelic music which featured reverse sounds; such as Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles, featureing its reversed seagull sounds. I then added a droney bass, and piano plinkety plonks. I still don't know how the bleeps got in though.
