Details
The audio recording commences with the distinct, crisp sound of paper being torn. The tearing paper produces a sharp, rustling noise that is both quick and deliberate. It's a familiar sound, like a sheet of paper being divided into two, or a page being ripped from a notebook - the rough, raspy symphony of paper fibers being separated. Following the tearing of paper, the audio transitions into the sound of plastic film being ripped. This produces a higher, more resonant noise that echoes slightly. It's a sharper, more brittle sound that resonates like a thin sheet of plastic being stretched until it snaps. The plastic film tearing sound is continuous, like a roll of plastic wrap being pulled apart. Both the paper tearing and the plastic film ripping create a rhythmic, systematic pattern of sounds that evoke a tactile sense of both materials being manipulated and torn. The audio ends, leaving behind an echo of the paper and plastic film's textural chorus.
