"subjective mix" = mixing together all contributions in sort of "democratic" way, trying that each participants are being heard by altering solely volume and balance of each recording, attempting to conserve and respect the original dynamics and architecture of recordings as much is possible. Obviously, this is not an easy task and some individual sounds are being not heard, especially those of delicate nature. This can be remedied by publishing these individual tracks which might need closer attention as well as possibility to be re-mixed by another member of uni.Sol_ if desired to create another perspective / view.
"as it is" = as it was recorded and mixed together without any modifications of individual tracks (regardless of distortions and some sounds being inevitably drowned) which might show us general energetic and aural outline as the idea of "one sound" ...
“alternative - subjective mix” = this time, taking the most quiet sound-contribution (=experiMENTALien) as threshold-reference (=volume peak) and mixing all other tracks accordingly within / along /underneath - looking for balance from another perspective.
* Spontaneous recordings around campfire in Czechia:
didgeridoo - Jan Michoin, tambourine - Teguše Reková, little drum and “štěrkátko”: Šárka Minárik and Pavlína Golasowská :)
** Stephen Bradley: I performed for the hour using two empty water bottles deflated with their lids on within a stereo field (two matched mono microphones), a second wireless parabolic microphone pointed at a cricket singing along with my water bottle performance. I began first with the parabolic outside in my yard, but when I heard the inside cricket, I moved the parabolic from outside into the basement studio where the cricket was singing his song. I used ppooll a max patch that crunched the sound some along with a mild reverb to soften the crackly sound of the plastic bottles. That is the acoustic artifacts in the background that can be heard periodically.This was inspired by listening to David Stalling and Alexey's Agapov contributions that I remixed from uni.Sol 8, my instrument was pretty much consistent throughout the hour.
