My sound piece represents Nature VS Nature. The natural environment VS the nature of humans. I chose this subject matter because I believe Industrialisation and modernisation of technology dictates heavy authority over the organic world. The concept behind the piece was based on three key ideas; pre-industrialised society, Industrialisation as well as deforestation and finally the post-industrial information/technology generation. In the piece I used sounds such as recordings of; running water, birds and voices. I also used audio from YouTube Nazi documentaries, and tree cutting tutorial videos. I edited the audio using techniques such as; cutting, increasing and decreasing the speed, re-arranging, the vocoder and echo effect, fade in, fade out, multi-layering, and volume. I wanted to aurally show that nature is fading away due to the extremely authoritative nature of the in-organic human world and create a linear story that has relevance in society today, whilst also generating awareness for this issue.
