This piece moves away from the theme of site-specificity. I introduced many new sounds, particularly human voices and air-conditioning sounds that were transformed beyond recognition. I moved away from the constraints of the theme of trying to make the air-conditioners sound like variations of air-conditioners, and instead explored sounds that were unlike those typically made by air-conditioning. I also provided the sounds with dramatic movement, which caused them to chop through the space. Although introduced voices are not included in this sample, I added the surreal voice of children by using the scramble function with a high attack interpolation in the spectrum synth. I added plenty of voices causing the laneway to talk to passers-by: ‘welcome to my alleyway, you are so beautiful, hello, do you like walking through my arteries, goodbye’. This was the piece that gained most attention, due to its extravagant sounds and gestures.
