Month: November 2017

Sunday 5th November 2017

On this day I went around my flat with a Zoom H4N and recorded lots of different items in my flat (plates, bowls, glasses, the fridge, doors opening and closing). I managed to get around 8 minutes of recording in total. I then brought this into protools and began to listen to the recorded piece and pick out different sounds I liked. Using different plugins within ProTools I could manipulate different sounds to sound like, for example, a kick drum or a percussion loop. Once i had each individual part (kick, percussion, claps, etc) I made a 2 bar experimental drums loop aiming in the direction of how our Turmoil section of our soundscape will sound.

On October 31st 2017 our group was finalised, this meant we could begin planning for our soundscape. We had our first meeting on the same day. In the meeting we threw around a bunch of ideas but it boiled down to one idea, this idea of society, the idea that there’s some good and bad in this world and it can come and go just like, thus giving us the name Tranquil To Turmoil. I was originally going to create the blog site on this same day, however every time I tried to an error message kept appearing.

As well during this meeting our group split up the powerpoint slides so we could work on them individually. I was set to do test recordings and examples of audio to be used as well as a small part under production tools and techniques to be employed.
