Empathy Factory

I created this beat using my voice, finger snaps, hitting the mic, etc. After chopping up all the components, I began layering them and playing with syncopation as well as eq and effects to create a sort of inhuman soundscape. This piece incorporates words I find myself using a lot either to please others or to show that I'm listening and empathizing. By creating an intentional rhythm with them, I'm exploring the mechanical quality these words can take when they're said out of habit or a sense of obligation. This piece was originally created in response to Disquiet Junto (disquiet.com) prompt 0619: "Rebuild a complicated rhythm from scratch."
