Final Piece

My final piece was, in fact, an experimental piece on Real life crime. I personally feel the piece works well as an experimental piece. I consistently tried to avoid a narrative throughout the piece so that my piece wasn't about an obvious topic and my audience could listen to it and figure it out.

I enjoyed creating this piece as it was about a topic that greatly interests me which making the hours-long effort of trawling through audio pieces worth it. This is a genre of which I always enjoy working with and will use the skills learned in this module to continue to advance my skills in a medium I greatly enjoy.

I will link my final sound piece below.

Death example

As stated in another blog post I wanted to make a quick piece around the theme of death to test where I could potentially go with my work. I created a short piece only 52 seconds long with only a few sounds fitted together to see how experimental I could possibly make it. I think it turned out ok. Obviously, if I was to take this further within my final piece I would make it longer to fit the time restraints of the assessment and also use many more sounds and plan my piece in greater detail. The following piece of audio only consists of 5 different pieces of audio so isn't very detailed and could be improved greatly. I used sounds in the above piece for diffrent reasons and to convey different things within them. It is impossible to know what happens after death and so I had to use my imagination. I will list the sounds and reasoning below. Underwater sound: I used this because I think there wouldn't be many sounds to surround you after death and it would almost be li...

Final piece ideas 2.0

I've been thinking about what sounds I may need for my audio piece and have put together a list of said sounds so that during the creation of my piece I am able to follow the list of sounds making it easier for myself to put the piece together in a faster more reliable fashion. I will list below some sounds that I am considering using in my piece. Charles Manson - I'm nobody quote "Guilty" judge sentencing Who's affected Why they're affected Disapperances New Reports 911 Calls "Why did you do it?" "Who are you?" Ambience Children laughing I think the main part here for me to pay attention to and to remember is the Who are you?. From watching a variety of interviews with multiple serial killers I have found that in the majority the interviewer asks "Who are you?" and they all give very different answers which I think could be an intresting way to end my piece and to round it up. This will also not give the listene...

Week 5

Week 5 we looked into potential ideas for our final audio pieces. We looked into ideas that we should apply into out final ideas. In our soundscapes, we want to unfold a plot just as they do in films, any changes made to our audio is considered a change of state and is called modulation which is the change of one state of being to another. Looking at what could be considered bipolar sounds are sounds that are the polar opposite of one another. Examples of bipolar sounds include: Close/Open Rough/Smooth Empty/Full Near/Far Dry/Wet We also considered the 8 point story arc which could be useful to our pieces of audio but isn't necessarily something we have to follow, it may, however, help us to build a narrative to follow so it will flow better. 8 point story arc 1. Stasis - starting point/circumstance 2. Trigger - The element that starts the story beyond the control of the stasis 3. Quest - A reaction to the trigger 4. Suprise - Obstacles/complication 5. Cr...
