Soundscape Reflective Statement

This project filled me with excitement from the beginning, sound has always interested me greatly in film as it should everyone, it is the seasoning to the meal of the eyes, it is there to fine tune the emotional response of the audience for a particular moment. This is one of the fundamental reasons I wanted to get into animating and making these experiences for others, and this project gave me the opportunity to do something which can relate to this.

It was a little daunting at first but soon I was able to simply make noises at home on a recording device, which proved to be much fun and interesting, then clean them up and marry them into a collaboration. It would appear the sounds has the potential to be very abstract. I've tried to go for more realistic sounding things, as if they were creatures or physical things happening in the universe, all be it if they maybe weren't natural to this planet.

I think with more knowledge of sounds and software I could refine my sounds to a higher degree and possibly make more in depth sounds. My final outcomes I don't feel are particularly outlandish or imaginative. I believe what is in the picture is the end result and that the sounds which I created are the correct sounds which they would have always made if they existed.




    

Soundscape - Complete

Organic, flexible, bendy, stretchy, gritty, slow, growing, rigid.
This image is happening in a space which is underwater, as the structure is large and needs that environment to support its weight. Much like coral it moves to lessen structural resistance and grow.

Organic, Slippy, smooth, compacted, dry, swollen, bubbly, rubbery, slick, undulating. This image is telling me it belongs in a forgotten place, possibly a growth in a sewer, or a moist cavern somewhere biologically it can thrive.

This image is loud, fizzing, gleaming and werring. It rumbles and explodes. It vibrates in a space which is endless.   

Below is a list of noises which helped me create sound for these three images. 

Soundscape - Remastering Music

I was tasked with improving a song by editing it in Adobe Audition.

SoundScape - Adobe Audition - Speech, Tone, Noise

Below are examples of Speech with applied effects, Tone with sweep, and Noise with the Doppler Effect.

Soundscape - Adobe Audition - NASA Sounds

 I used files provided to create a unique sounding accompaniment to this stars solar arcs.

Soundscape - Images and property description

Here are my three images which require thirty seconds of diegetic sound to accompany them, I'm beginning this by creating as many words as possible to help me describe what I'm looking at and what possible sounds it could create. 

  

Organic, flexible, bendy, stretchy, gritty, slow, growing, rigid. I feel this image is happening in a space which could be underwater, as the structure is large and needs that environment to support its weight. 

Organic, Slippy, smooth, compacted, dry, swollen, bubbly, rubbery, slick, undulating. This image is telling me it belongs in a forgotten place, possibly a growth in a sewer, or a moist cavern somewhere biologically it can thrive.

This image has spoken to me the least of the three, I think this is because I'm trying to identify specific things in the image. I begin to feel like I should try more to view this as more of a metaphor instead, rather than an entity which makes a specific noise. I believe this image is an interpretation of progression. The sound of creation personified. This image is loud, fizzing, gleaming and werring. It rumbles and explodes. It vibrates in a space which is endless.   

Soundscape - The Dodo sound creation

I chose the Dodo to reproduce a sound for. I wanted to express the struggle this particular Dodo faced when confronted by humans for the first time.
