Using Twitter as Source Material
As a way to understand and process news and information that I consume via Twitter, I am searching for and collecting tweets around a theme or on a specific date when a level of disconnect resonates for me personally. I will then retype each tweet and record those keystrokes and convert them into MIDI notes. Those notes are then the backbone of my digital compositions.
