samples that never came back
the gap between hearing a sound in your head and reaching the file that holds it.
logged
there are thirty-six thousand audio files on the drive next to me. most of them haven’t been touched since the year they were recorded.
some of them are good. i don’t know which.
the gap between hearing a sound in your head and reaching the file that holds it is, for me, where most of the music dies. i mean this technically. a session opens, a feeling arrives, the search bar is wrong shape for what you’re looking for, the feeling leaves before the file does. you make something else. it’s fine. it’s not what was there.
seris is the labeler that listens to those thirty-six thousand and tells you what each one is. seris loom is the workstation that lets you reach for them while the feeling is still in the room.
this is for anyone with a drive full of sounds and not enough hands to reach them.
