My sound piece explores the concept of authority as an instinct, as something that is wired into the brain of all living things. The way in which society follows the words of political figures, the wildlife responds to the portrayal of power through the growl and roar of the Lion. The piece emphasises this allocation of authority through the power of the elements as well as the quietening of the birds’ chatter to anticipate the voice of the predator.

The volume of the elements increases as the predator moves closer. This is assisted by the progressive drumming of wooden sticks building in intensity to convey the development of power. These two methods accentuate the presence of authority in my piece as the king of the jungle conquers the conversation of the weaker animals.

Overall the piece functions as a metaphor to represent the way humanity is drawn to figures of authority, whether by democracy or dictatorship, and follows the strength of their voice.

Wild Hierarchy - MEDA101

Ambient sounds for my JRNL102 project focused on soccer.

The Sounds Of Soccer

Soccer has the power to evoke emotion, and making it to the grand final was ‘one of the most nerve-wracking and exciting experiences’ of Jack’s life. Jack Keegan, the captain of Bosco FC U21A expresses the odd mixture of passion and anxiety he feels when he walks out onto the pitch at his Grand Final at Seymour Shaw Park. 

He describes the thoughts going through his mind at such a significant time and his coping methods when weighed down by the pressure of expectation. But in the end, Jack is driven to succeed and relies on his team mates who ‘experience the high and lows’ with him.
