In our performance we want to take the audience on a journey. This journey is going to be personal and differ for each audience member. Initially, it may be slightly unsettling for the audience as a shop is quite an unlikely place to see a performance. This is why it will be important to grab the audience’s attention and make it eye-catching for families. Originally, there was an idea for all the audience members to have headphones as soon as they enter the shop, which will guide them around the space. But then it was decided that there should be more an emphasis of independence and self discovery of audience members so different types of music will be playing in different areas of the space.

For one of the parts of the piece, the intended aim is to use a microphone and through this project sound wave onto the wall, to show the audience how sound waves are produced through noise. When researching into music as well, we found that primary chords link with the primary colours. Then we discovered more and researched into minimalist music as it uses patterns. Another reason why we love the idea of using minimalist music is because the beat is constant, with only subtle changes and phase shifting; similar to the beam of light which is constant.

This piece of music we used in our performance last week and it was just an idea of the piece we might want to use for our actual performance, after feedback-it may be more change and progression. This is something we are aiming to work on in the next couple of weeks.
