The Assignment: Operate with incisions on a live sound in real time.
Step 1: Consider the concept of vivisection, or “the cutting of or operation on a living animal usually for physiological or pathological investigation,” per the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
Step 2: Consider how that term might be applied to sound — for example, enacting cuts into a live sound source in real time.
Step 3: Record a short piece of music/sound based on the thoughts that arose upon reflection on Steps 1 and 2 above.

I used a bit crusher in real time, and afterwards also deleted some small parts in the audio. Sounds being used: a flute I borrowed from a friend today, a kick drum, some noisy plugins and I recorded the sounds from tearing a piece of paper. I recorded the whole recording again with a microphone in front of a box in order to create some feedback at the end.
