 Fortunate happenstance,           pleasant surprise ,          Serendipity,     The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident,              The fact or occurrence of such discoveries,                                          An instance of making such a discovery,  luck,
                   
an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident,       good fortune;                          a talent for making fortunate discoveries while searching for other things,  blessing,        break*, dumb luck, fluke, good luck, happenstance,    happy chance,   luck, lucky break,            stumbling upon, tripping over,      serendipitous!

..............is listening to 2 separate recordings made at the same time from two separate rooms and  when the sounds, pitch, atmosphere colide and conversations get electric and suddenly theres a build up of excitement both at the same time..... sound, space, people, time of day, people being spontaneous  

Interesting explorations and discovery s continuing on this week from last- hours of material to log!

 sketches made in sketch book of the installation/projection and position in the space, as well as, how i wish to animate the video footage and a basic design and how the collage of sounds, taken from 'winter foot prints' are to be layered   and stretched and i can see how to work the imagery with the sound- which I'm pleased about- ( visual are stop starry and moody with blurred images mixed in separating the more formal texts  ).


Looking forward to getting to a point that is 'the immersive experience' and not the looking through hours of recorded 'past' doctumentation- the experience of 'now' and 'freshness'  as with older installation work, has to fit with the idea that relates to 'serendipitous unplanned discoveries' . Lots of complexities to work through! 
​
Hope to have a mock up by Friday..... fingers crossed.
