acoustic eco: intersection - cars may not stop (project 2 final)

To record this, I was walking out in front of Mary Lyon Hall back and fourth with the recorder facing outwards towards Pearsons. I wasn't really looking for anything in particular, and was just sort of milling around on the grass .

For this recording, I was on a walk and liked the sound of walking up the wooden stairs to Brigham. I oriented the recorder to face the ground as I walked up the stairs. The action was sort of performative as I decided to recreate the action after having done it once.

In this recording, I'm walking at night through the arch between Kendade and Clapp. I liked the echo of the space and tried to capture that very recognizable sound on the recorder.

acoustic eco: more walking (project 1)

For this recording, I was down near Clapp when the wind was blowing though the trees really heavily. What your hearing is an amalgamation of wind blowing (high pitched and continuous), a metal sign hitting the side of a tree (high pitched) and some low static humming towards the end. I think this makes for a really interesting fabric of sounds. 

I hope to add this to the earlier part of my project as the introduction of interference into my project.

acoustic eco: wind noises w/ low interference(project 1B)

In this recording, I was walking away from Brigham, towards Safford, positioning the mic close by my feet. I really like the crispiness of walking and did my best to eliminate as much of the interference as possible. I'm hoping that this will also be one of this clips I use in my introduction of this project, since some of the audio is the cleaner audio I have.

As of right now, I feel like my work in progress is a solid representation of the form of my project. I don't envision myself right now adding more layers or sounds to the current piece, but I might take these same sounds and layer them in different ways and experiment with that. I would like to develop the middle sections a bit more, and use more panning and volume automation to bring out more spatial elements of my piece. Though I want to be careful with these tools as to not damage or over exaggerate the actual spatial qualities of the original recordings.

This recording describes my walk towards Abbey and the ~interesting~ sounds special to this area

acoustic eco: procession (project 1 final)

What is currently on the track is representative of the first and second part (out of four total parts)of my project. I'm wondering if I should make the noise sections a little less static, or if it's overwhelming enough as it is.

I will be adding a third part that should sort of meld with this part two and a short last part.

acoustic eco: intersection (project 2_1)

A now "perfected" parts 1 and 2, based on the feedback I received yesterday in class. I'm pretty happy with where it is now, though I still would like to go back to it (if time allows) and tweak the mixing levels since I feel that they are all over the place right now. I have the basic structure of my project down, but am still working on it, hoping to have another work in progress uploaded by the end of today.
