A Quick Walk

A quick walk through sound!

I created this piece by going through ever floor of Ovalwood and recording the sounds that I found interesting. After recording over 40 sounds, I ended up choosing about 6 different sounds. I really enjoyed the sounds of traveling as well as the piano playing. I manipulated the sounds to grow louder and softer as we moved towards and away from each. I also took someone who was walking incredibly fast in heels and slowed down the pace to give the constant footsteps used as the base line.

I wanted to make the listeners feel as if they were traveling around a location and just happened upon someone playing the piano which is a regular occurrence in the theatre. I feel as though it gives the feeling of rushing until we reach the piano which slows down the pace until it begins to fade and we begin to rush again. I made the footsteps be a constant beat underneath everything which certain sounds faded in and out to give the illusion of movement.

Mmmm Podcasts...

Best of YouTube
I enjoy all of the random videos that show up on YouTube but I don't get the chance to just surf around the site and find different things so I like this podcast because it shows recent, interesting videos.
