Create a 1-3-minute audio composition that incorporates daily occurring sounds as a way to explore tempo and percussion using recorded media. Consider how your sound sources inform the overall concept and perception of your work. Is your composition a reflection of daily life on an individual or global scale? What does it mean to sample audio from daily life? Does your composition re-contextualize the mundane or comment on a specific emotion or perspective?

A chance-based composition constructed using submissions of one audio sample per student, placed in a timeline sequentially according to the timestamp of each submission.

Creative Prompt:
Create an audio file within your DAW that is 20 seconds or less. Consider your audio submission to be a self-portrait. What sound(s) best describe you? Any sound contribution is acceptable. The audio used can incorporate samples and/or it can be made by you using your voice, instruments, or objects. Students are encouraged to use this opportunity to explore basic navigation and audio effects within their chosen DAW.
