Painting With Sound

So as I've said before in this blog I was really excited to sit down and make a soundscape out of the sounds we recorded for class. My partner and I made sure to make a list of all the sounds that we were considering using. When we first started creating "Our Garden In A Shady Spot," I was only wanting to use nature sounds. I soon realized that there weren't all that many nature sounds that the groups recorded. So we began to play around with other sounds making them slower or faster. As we began to play around I realized that some of the sounds really sounded different when they were played at different speeds. The sounds of metal banging sounded completely different slowed down. A lot of these sounds I ended up really liking a whole lot. This made me really excited and I wanted to experiment even more with sounds. So we experimented with putting different sounds on top of each other and we discovered that different sounds would sound really good with each other and others didn't sound that great. As we continued making our soundscape we began to come up with a silly story to go along with it. Our story being that the person's "Ohm," disturbed the entire garden and created chaos. Since we didn't want this to be too narrative we tried not to make the story too blantant. I think it was more of something silly to keep us from going insane with 3 projects due on the same day. (:
