This is the final product for project 1. All the elements heard were recorded, and then manipulated to create music. My orginal recordings are of:

train leaving the station
metal slinky hitting tile floor
fax machine dial up
train horn

Each sound was manipulated by decreasing/increasing tempo, changing speed, changing pitch, cutting out parts and rearranging them and layering individual sounds.

Metallic Windmill

This piece was created in my Sequencing & Digital Audio course.

I had found a cassette tape in my room and on it was a vast amount of my own musical recordings from when I was 9 or 10. It also includes my little brother in the back ground saying "I  don't want to do this anymore".

No More

This project was made for my Sound design 2 course. The objective was to combine 4 or 5 tracks. There was no tempo or pitch modulation for any of the songs chosen.

"MKLVFKWR"
Public Enemy

"#1"
Animal Collective

"Jessica Simpson"
Sam Shalabi

"Lullaby"
Leslie Bassett



Mixup

This piece was created using only organic objects:
Locust Tree seed pod
Dried leaves ( still attached to stick)
Pine cone
Pine needles
Suede cloth(hand moving across the suede)
Wooden table
Acorns rolling in a wooden bowl
There was very little manipulation to the sounds other than delay, echo, reverb, eq and some pitch/voice modulation.


Rituals

This piece goes along with a video I created. I captured visual recordings that I feel represent my childhood and overall fun. I wanted to make a piece that is free, lively and fun, rather than dark as I usually do. 

here's the video:

Orange Juice Ants

This piece used elements that most recently decribe my decisions.

I have decided to partake in a triathlon over the summer, and the sounds used are elements that I have been seeing a lot.
