The sound of lighting a gas stove in a domestic setting begins with the sharp click of the ignition, followed by the sudden whoosh as the flame ignites. A faint hiss accompanies the steady flow of gas, creating a subtle yet distinct background noise. As the intensity of the flame is adjusted, there’s a noticeable change in sound: turning the knob higher produces a louder, more forceful hiss, while lowering it softens the sound to a gentle whisper.

The act of experimenting with different flame levels introduces a dynamic interplay of sounds, reflecting both control and functionality in this everyday moment.

The process of programming a washing machine, already loaded with clothes, detergent, and fabric softener, begins with the soft clicks and beeps as buttons are pressed to select the desired settings. The machine hums briefly, signaling readiness, before the cycle starts. As water begins to flow into the drum, a gentle whoosh can be heard, followed by intermittent splashes as the clothes soak. The drum then begins to rotate slowly, producing a rhythmic whirring sound that grows steadier as the wash cycle progresses.

Throughout its operation, the washing machine emits distinct auditory patterns that are easily recognizable in a domestic environment. The initial wash phase alternates between steady rotations and brief pauses, creating a repetitive whir-swish-whir cadence. As the cycle transitions to rinsing and spinning, the sounds intensify—the drum spins faster, producing a louder hum and occasional vibrations. These mechanical rhythms blend into the household ambiance, accompanied by other background noises like distant voices or appliances, creating a familiar and comforting domestic soundscape.

The recording of the domestic sound of using a key in a security lock captures a rich array of metallic tones and mechanical interactions. The process begins with the insertion of the key, producing a crisp clink as metal meets metal. As the key is turned, a series of distinct clicks and clunks can be heard, each corresponding to the internal mechanisms of the lock engaging. Testing the lock by turning the key once or multiple times creates variations in these sounds, offering a range of rhythmic metallic patterns.

The sequence culminates in the opening and closing of the door, adding resonant sounds to the recording. These layers of sound provide a versatile palette for editing. Each element, from the subtle scrape of the key to the firm snap of the lock engaging, can be isolated and repurposed individually, making this recording suitable for creative or practical audio applications.

Fossil evidence for evolution. Many rock layers contain fossils of both extinct species and species that exist today. This presents a fascinating opportunity to see if the species alive today have evolved compared to their fossilised ancestors. Research examining this found no change between the species, despite the assumed age of the fossils being millions of years in the past. If evolution occurred and continues to occur, why haven't the species alive today changed dramatically?

Fossil Evidence for Evolution? part 3 - SC2518

I came home for the weekend. While my mom was making dinner (my favorite dish, might i add) I was surrounded by the familiar sounds I heard so many times before. The washing machine that "never" stops, the sink, the clapping of drawers and doors against their own furniture and even the fire getting lit to prepare a delicious meal. I can also hear my father in the background, telling us (once again) to turn off the lights that aren't being used. 

A sound of a cat, one of my companions, calling for attention while watching us in the kitchen.
She (my cat) starts looking at us with the cutest little eyes while pointing one of her paws in our direction, eagerly waiting for something (food?) while my mum questions what she might be doing.

Week Sound 1 - Home Environment (“Kitchen”)

This was recorded early in the morning barely after me waking up. My bedroom is on the 3rd floor and is directly connected to the balcony, so I can hear everything that happens outside and in this particular morning I was woken up by the construction work happening.

Week Sound 1 - Home Environment (Bedroom with the sound of birds, cars and construction work)

On the record we can listen to my mother making lunch while I go off to play a little with my cat (Dusty) with a laser, for me these sounds are the ones more associated with the meaning of the word “home”. Sometimes it’s possible to listen a constante clicking that is from the laser for Dusty aknowledge where the light is and his claws on the floor while trying to catch the light while the constant sound that comes from the kitchen is still audible.

Week Sound 1 - House Sounds ("Food and Dusty")

The confused and overwhelming sound of the gym. From stepping and running on threadmills to the sound of metal plates hitting eachother with each exercise repetition

Week 4 - Rythms and Patternss

"Noite dos Bombos" is a celebration that takes place in my hometown, Mirandela, on the first friday of August. What started as a hangout between friends has now turned into a sixty-year-old tradition.
The whole city goes out around 9pm to watch the parade ("Marcha Luminosa"), and only at 1am do the bass drums leave the sanctuary and start playing throughout the city.
What makes this celebration special is that there are no requirements to join the fun, you just need to be able to stay awake long enough.
For my interpretation of "Dawn" i wanted the listener to feel what it's like to walk home from this party, especially when crossing Ponte Nova, a semi-narrow bridge that connects the old part of the city to the sanctuary and the city park (usually where the summer fair takes place). 
On that night there is really no silence- wheter it is the drums, whistles or bumping into friends you haven't seen in a long time. The only moment of silence arrives when we reach home and yet the muffled sound of drums can still be heard in the distance.
Personally it was something so normal to me that i thought every place had something like this, so i was genuinely in shock when told otherwise.
The drum patterns are truly a soundmark of the city, being so ingrained into our bones that we don't even notice that we are mindlessly tapping it on the table or dancing to it.
