Exploring the boundaries between sound and music. The painful practice sessions of a rising musician and the music that can be heard all around them.

Sound Or Music

Going Down Stairs

Sounds of the loud furnace in the condo lobby area.

Furnace Noise

Around Charles River

Listening to different bird calls while walking near the Charles River.

Bird Calls Near Water

Walking on snow, trying not to slip on ice, and getting back to land.

Snow - Ice - Land

I would like to create a soundscape on sounds created by simply existing, or sounds that are unintentionally made by movement. This is my transition section from outside to inside. I would love to know people's thoughts on how it flows. I still have lots of sound from the outside that have been added, but are still in the process of editing. 

I had a hard time of figuring out where I wanted to stop and send as a work in progress, but I think that this might be the best place for me right now.

Project 1c Work In Progress

Listening to the world around me and reflecting on my life with comparisons to a hamster's.

Project 1c: Large World, Tiny Me

The Ironies of Practicing: From microtones to music.
I would like to make a composition where music is produced by objects that are not typically used as musical instruments and making musical instruments sound less than their full extent.

This is a rough draft of my project and the structure of the piece is complete.
I would like feedback on where it feels too long or if there are segments that could be more interesting. I am trying to cut my piece down because I believe it is too long. Would it be a good idea to add more sounds or is this enough?

Project 2 WIP

This is my second draft of Project 2. I have added some sound and cut out other longer repetitive segments. I may do some more editing with the sound effects to see if I can get some sounds even clearer or make smoother transitions, but I think that I am done with the structure of my project. I would love to receive some feedback and thoughts on the ending as well as the overall pacing. I don't think that it is too long, but I am not entirely sure it is engaging. Also, how is the volume?
