GBDA 202 Audio Narrative

Blindfolded Walk

In order to create this work, I started by creating a transcript of the entire debate, as to have a concrete list of words and sounds that I have to work with.  After I went through the transcript very carefully for context and people talking over one another so I could figure out could and could not be used in the final product.  After that I thought of an idea that had something to with the subject matter, but still different enough while incorporating some comedy.  After an idea is thought of I went over the transcript again to find words that fit to incorporate into the final script, and if a necessary word it was either replaced with a similar word, or made out of other words that use the same sounds.
	Once the final script is made using words from the original transcript the cutting of the audio begins.  I began by cutting out words and section I new I would need and labeling them with their word or sound name and placing them in a separate track from the original.  After all the parts are cut and labeled from the original they are placed in the order they appear in the final script.  After the words are in the correct order the position is moved around to make the words sound as if they are in complete sentences and spoken correctly.  After a final review of the project with any final tweaks to word phrasing and spacing the project is saved and uploaded.

Trump Said That?

For the 3rd sound I made the sentence sound like my high school cafeteria because that place reminds me of when we would have school concerts there and how big the sound got when instruments were played making the whole performance a lot more epic.

Different Sounds Differerent People

Confusing Headphone Experience

This piece is an audio experience of someone trapped in a coma in a hospital and coveys what they might hear in this experience.  This piece requires headphones because this is an experience that requires the listeners to pretend they are apart of the piece, and this is easier to when the rest of the world is blocked out and only the sounds in the headphones are present.  When the headphones are used the constant beeps of the heart monitor are always there, right next to you, as if its right next you.  Because it is the closest thing it is always heard the clearest as well.  When I listened with loudspeakers it did not give the same effect as being right beside me, it was more like I was on the other side of the room, rather than in the hospital bed.  As well with the ambient sounds being further away is only noticeable when fully immersed through headphones.  There is another part where the listener starts to lose consciousness and if not fully immersed through headphones does not convey the same feeling as if you were actually the person in the hospital.  Because this piece is an immersive experience it requires headphones, as just listening through loud speakers or even just earbuds gives the immersion that you are watching the person on something like a television rather than actually being the person in the experience.
