At the beginning of this video, Quad Time by Origamibiro, I was both delighted (manual typewriters. I mean. Who doesn’t love them?) and a bit worried. As we know, it’s not good enough to be mesmerized by the capabilities of technology… it’s what you do with them that matters. So my slight concern was that these soundscape artists would be bewitched by the sampled clack of keys or the sound of the ripping paper and leave it at that. And of course, that’d be ok, just not half as interesting or as exciting as it might be. So imagine my delight when, towards the end of the video, you see them begin to sample the sounds of real words being typed, meshing audio, visual and meaning into one delightfully whimsical and beautiful presentation.
