(8/1) Sound Assignment by Regina and I


The Pulse of the Human Experience

For this Sound assignment, Regina and I decided to work together. As people, we eat about three times a day if not more. Especially combined with living in the city, we often go out to cafes, restaurants, take out spots to grab food to go or sit down and dine with friends. We decided to make recordings of these everyday spaces. Turns out that there always so much going out around us. Typically, I’m just focused on my own food or my conversation with friends, but there are many conversations all around us. Inspired by the NPR podcast, Regina downloaded a bunch of space noises from the NASA website to incorporate a more structured beat that is very much related to the human existence. In audacity, we cropped down our clips from eating establishments, then layered them with the space noises which were more rhythmic. We utilized “Studio Fade Out” to make them sound somewhat more pleasant together. Towards the end of clip, the noises from the restaurants fade away, leaving just the beeping of our galaxy.

Moving from chaos to tranquility, we have created a multisensory experience from which we begin fully emerged in the commotion of daily life and slowly zoom out to a panoramic shot of our universe.
