This was the week when i was introduced to sound listening for our experimental audio project. Before having to come up with an idea for our audio project me and my class got the chance to listen to some sounds, and discus what they could of been and what they made us think of. After listening to some sounds we also had the chance to go as a class to difference location to listen to the sounds that was around us. This time we had to get in to groups of two, in which i did with Myles Chimuntanda and then go around the location and take notes of the things we heard.
The location we went to was :
- Train Station :- From this place me and Myles picked up sounds like foot steps, Coffee machines, people sipping in to their drinks, people arguing,announcements, newspapers being turned, pen, book, someone crossing out what they were writing etc.
- Cathedral: From this place we got the sense of peacefulness, we heard the atoms sound and echoing when someone walks in to the room, outside noises such as traffic light and construction workers. And because it was a very quite and echoey place you can hear things like people whispering and praying, that gives of another sense of feeling to you.
- Winter Garden: From this place we hd the sound of water, kids, people passing by, busyness etc
For me this was my first time actually listening to what was around me, normally i hear things that are obvious but i never sat down and actually listened to the littlest things that was around me. So experiencing this is was useful for me, because when it came to noting down some ideas it came in handy.
