163 – Inkblot Test


 
The objective for this week’s Disquiet Junto project: Create a piece that is a palindrome.
 
“Your drone will take the form of a palindrome. This is to say: once the track reaches its midpoint its structure will then continue to unfold as a mirror, or reverse, of its first half. As always, these instructions are intended as a starting point, and are open to interpretation.”
 
I used 5 of the provided samples and processed them in Logic Pro using autofilters, bitcrushers, and granulators to create a track. I then reversed the track in the middle to create a true palindrome, both visually and aurally.
 
The title is a reference to the Rorschach test, where inkblots are used for psychological testing.
