One of the most haunting sounds that -still- generates a wide range of emotions,
memories and feelings is none other than the sound of the ALARM CLOCK. This
audio piece is balancing between narrative and experimental, incorporating the
“classic” alarm-clock-sound, a short storytelling of my mother’s attempts -and
methods!- to wake me up when I was younger – accompanied by my mother’s
actual voice, whom I asked to re-enact those moments and recorded her over the
phone, since she is in Greece – and certain personal details about my self at the
time. Additionally, I used various contemporary alarm-clock-sounds, along with
human voices, shouting my name.

This audio piece is focusing on the two major types of University campus that
exist. The first being the traditional kind, where all the buildings are placed
close to each other surrounding a park-like area, and the other being a
“neighborhood campus”, where the buildings of the academic institution are
placed in an urban setting, being an integral part of the city. For the making of
it, I incorporated some etymological and historic information about the term
“campus” and I enriched it with a few short clips of student interviews,
expressing several points of view on the subject.
