For my soundscape I\u2019m creating the sounds of someone going for a run through Oakland. I\u2019ll be using the fade in and fade out in different ears to mimic things passing by or being passed by. Cars, people, and buses are a couple of obvious sounds to have pass by. I\u2019ll use different frequencies of cars to help portray the different areas. For example, in central Oakland there\u2019ll be many more cars passing by than in Schenley Park.<\/p>\n
However when I was trying to come up with all of the sounds I would use throughout the soundscape, there was only a small number. To prevent the track from being really repetitive or boring, I decided I\u2019d have to add in something extra. The idea I finally decided on was to characterize the different buildings on campus with certain sounds.<\/p>\n
The first and easiest idea that I came up with was having sounds of someone making a chemical reaction while passing Chevron (the Chemistry building). Because of this, I started to plan out a specific route and pick buildings that I could characterize easily. So far I\u2019ve picked out Chevron, the Athletic Association, Cathy, the Porch, and Phipps conservatory. I\u2019ve decided on sounds for all of those other than Cathy. The ideas I\u2019ve tossed around for it are church bells (because it\u2019s the cathedral), a clip of Sweet Caroline (to represent the victory lights), or maybe a short part of an instrumental piece that sounds similar to Harry Potter (since Cathy looks like Hogwarts on the inside).<\/p>\n
I\u2019d like for these sounds to be fairly prominent, but not overwhelmingly loud. The footsteps of the runner and the sounds of the surroundings should still be audible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
