JMC-AUD405 – A Journey… Nev De Luca
Theme “A Journey”
The 3 individual sounds represent a ‘Journey’ in their own way... The idea was to intermittently combine all three sounds to resemble a ‘Futurism 1909-1915’ inspired piece, created by transforming everyday sounds, combining and manipulating all three source sounds to resemble a Soundscape of manmade weaponry used in battle.
Futurism was presented as a ‘Modernist’ movement celebrating the Technological, future era. The car, the plane, the industrial town were representing the motion in modern life and the technological triumph of man over nature. (HuntFor.com ©1999-2007)
Sound 1 ‘car’
•	Car journey a journey into to time and space as the car fades and then reappears
a.	Sound of car starting, reversing out of driveway, driving up street and return into driveway.
b.	Recorded from inside directly at the open window facing towards the car (left) to capture the direction of the car travel.
Mixing car:
•	By adding FX and signal processing, the sound transformed from the obvious to resembling what I envisage as a military base in a Desert. The car resembling military jeeps driving in swirling winds.
•	Added a “Doubler 2” Plug in - to give a larger than life impression of the car by doubling the sound
•	The “Air fuzz wah” – auto pan pot on pedal for accentuating wind swirls
•	Boosting, sweeping across the “mid freq.’s” also enhanced the swirling wind sound
•	The “Flanger” gave it a swirling effect like actual wind movement
•	“Extra Long delays” to echo the car giving impression of more than one vehicle
•	“Air reverb” to give depth and loneliness impression
•	Auto fading LF levels to add suspense with low rumble
•	Auto fading Mid Freq for sweeping wind/siren/ military truck arrives.
Sound 2 ‘Kettle Boiling’
•	Kettle boiling represents a journey of transformation from 1 form to another ie cold water to boiled water
a.	Kettle on carpet 
b.	Carpeted Office
Mixing kettle boiling:
•	Primarily Similar effects send as car sends
•	Gradually increased low frequency for approaching climax
•	Sounds like a slow build up to the end of the world.
•	Earthquake rumbling
Sound 3 ‘cat chewing’
•	Cat chewing represents a joyous journey of transformation (for my cat) from being hungry to satisfied by the delicacies of Whiskettes.
a.	Placed biscuits in a bowl (Whiskettes)
Mixing cat chewing:
•	Re Adjusted Eq
•	Added reverb (Waves Air)
•	Eq7 - Auto pan low freq for initial bite for low rumble
•	Modulation - “Enigma Plug in” - Added N harmonic pre set – has totally altered the original sound – not recognizable as cat chew
•	“Enigma Plug in” –auto panning
•	“Funk Logic Peometric Aquilizer “Plug In
•	Sounds like war zone
•	Auto faded settings to make sound realistic as to not over emphasize the effect
The finished music relates to the mindset of a soldier at war and the sounds encountered. The journey may also reflect the transformation from peace to war and its perceived consequences of beneficial change through the development of manmade machinery.
