Faded & Demo
Ever notice how the hum of a trash bin at midnight sounds like a bass line from an old record? I’m thinking of shooting that. How does that strike you?
That’s a cool idea, but I wonder if the bin will ever remember the rhythm it’s trying to play.
Bins don’t remember anything, they just echo whatever noise comes in. That’s why you’ll always capture something raw and real – no memory, no filter. Just let the rhythm come and catch it in the frame.
That rawness sounds good, but I still feel the silence between the beats will carry more weight than any echo.
Silence does carry weight, sure, but it’s the echo that tells you where that weight lands. Grab the beat, let the echo trail, and then cut hard to that pause. That’s how you make the silence feel heavy.
That sounds like a way to catch the ghost of the beat before it fades, almost like a memory slipping through the cracks. I can see that echo pulling the silence deeper than it usually goes. Maybe that’s how we keep the old sound alive, even if it’s just a brief, harsh cut.
