MEDA101 Soundscape

1)	What is your name? Griffin Parsons

2)	What is the title of your piece? (If you didn’t think of a title, come up with one now.) The Decay of Humanity

3)	Why did you make this piece the way you did? 

I didn’t intend on making an eerie piece, however the supplied sounds were screaming at me to produce such a track. It isn’t a song, however almost like a soundscape that captures the decay of our world. Everything seems to be destructing, 

4)	What did you learn from this making this piece? 

This was my first time using ProTools, and the skills I have learnt encourages me to continue learning more. In the first class when we started using this software, I was completely overwhelmed with the complexity of the program, and even though I still have a lot to learn from lots of practice, I can easily say I am comfortable with using ProTools and editing and transforming sounds.

5)	If you could make this piece again, what would you do differently? I would make it more dramatic, I did the best I could with no experience and limited skills, so if I did it again I would increase the drama, intensity and overall resolution of the piece. 

6)	Who do you want to hear this piece? 

Anyone willing to listen.

7)	Think of one question to ask listeners about this piece. Make it a specific question (what images come to mind?; how do the high pitched sounds make you feel?; does the overall structure feel resolved), rather than a general question (Is it good?; Do you like it?; what would you do differently. Write your question down here: 

What emotions does this piece draw from you?
