WEAVE

by Noah Pred & Jeff Warren

Narrated by Jeff Warren with soundscape entwined by Noah Pred, WEAVE investigates the potential of sound as a tool to explore consciousness, hone attention, and ultimately expand awareness. The remixing of sound is offered as a metaphor for exploring and adjusting one’s own engagement with self / world. The 12-minute piece is a kind of guided sound meditation, moving through terrains of effort, challenge, release, and dissolution. The sonic backdrop was constructed using custom generative tools developed by Pred. Each idea in Warren’s narration corresponds to changes in the music, and vice versa. In addition, each musical element was created from samples of Jeff’s recorded narration, re embedding the soundscape as another emanation of the same consciousness, exploring itself. This multilayered, interwoven process points toward recursive effects arguably inherent to experience.
