Sonic Landscape has been created in the piece, have laid down atmospheric sounds and foley to start creating a picture of where and how the sounds would be placed in both India and Paradigm. England still needs to be worked on.

Paradigm Take 7

Created a dense mix of sounds overlapping and transitioning bringing a sense of life to this piece. Still had some scenes to fully develop but at this point in the sound placement the foundation so far seems strong (Only a scene in Paradigm needs to be worked on).  However realised the track still didn’t contain “movement” which was the next step.

Paradigm Take 10

Effects have been used a great deal. EQ has been used to create depth and enhance the sense of sound movement and the listener's perception. Delay and Reverb has been used as well to create a sense of space and crowd in some instances often positioning the "voice" in relation to the listener. Panning has been used to move sound from left to right in the stereo field again to create movement.

Paradigm Take 39

This is the lateest version of Paradigm so far. It still needs some work and fine-tuning and also needs the composed music to be added to certain parts (yet to compose). Different mixes are being considered at the moment and also mixing it for a surround sound set-up.

Paradigm (final)

ACT I : INDIA 
 
SCENE I : Independence 


There is a sense of floating in the unknown. Almost as though Sam is stuck in the void of space and the absence of noise, of any living being, of even the rumbles of machines. The absence of Earth. And in the absence emerges the presence of silence. Daunting and omnipresent, surrounding him from every side. There is a moment of clarity, of absolution and resonance. A single sound opens the door to the reality of what is about to happen. The atmosphere is rich with intensity as Sam walks to the door, his footsteps loud and curious in anticipation for what lies behind the door. He can make out the buzz of people yelling and screaming with excitement. The cheering get’s louder and he can make out the sound of a man speaking, His voice booming over thousands of people. He unlocks the creaking door, the bolt clunking down heavily. He is met by the voice of millions of people cheering and the booming man, a small figure on a high stage all dressed in white. His voice however embraces him in echoes. 

Voice

“At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awaken to light and freedom.” 

His words are met with the deafening roar of the crowd. Giddy and overwhelmed, Sam makes his way out of the crowd towards the exit. He finds his way at last and turns the handle, closing the door and leaving the crowd behind him. He begins running toward the light at the end of the corridor and runs right into the chaos.

Independance

Act II: England

SCENE III : The Wall

But he snaps. 

Voice
“I can not really believe that the world is being so silent.”

A girl screams as she falls from the sky and explodes like an atomic bomb, the explosion resonating inside Sam’s bones. He is surrounded by gunshots drawing closer and closer. Crowds of people run past, screaming, yelling and he is lost to an ocean of people. His legs like cement again - he cannot move. They scream as the bombs rain down and the guns fire openly onto the world. The world is not so silent anymore. Closer and closer it gets until suddenly he is shot and he drops.
