In Day-to-day life everyone is bombarded with many different sounds. A lot of the time most of us fail to realize the affects it can have on our moods and thoughts.  The mix of sounds I have created are meant to reflect the fast pace intrusive noise of every day life in the city; from the sound of your phone alarm in the morning to your exhale of relief at night. 

As discussed in the article by Jonah Lehrar “How the City Hurts Your Brain” although a city is intriguing and sparks creativity it severely effects the human ability to concentrate, memorize and think clearly. This is because we are faced with a constant flow of temptation and information. Additionally, another article read in class spoke about how the invention of I-pods and MP3 players alter how each individual perceives the world.

I feel as though my sound piece has really captured these ideas and blended them together. The beat in the background is what all the other sound is based off of, kind of like when you put your headphones in. All the other sounds build upon each other to create a rhythmic noise, which keeps you entertained but unable to focus on anything else.
