Audio Project: A Sense of Space - Initial Ideas

For the audio project I am working with Jordan Deakin. Our idea (mostly Jordan's initially) is to record a wide variety of sounds from a primary school. We then plan to manipulate those sounds in order to provide a false sense of space which speaks instead of a prison environment.

We plan to meet and discuss as many potential sounds as possible, and as suggested by Dom in our tutorial yesterday, we will plan out a general progression of sound that we will create, specifically formulating ideas for the opening, middle and ending of the piece.

In order to manipulate sounds we will undoubtedly utilise pitch shifting, e.g. a playground full of children playing, at a lower pitch, could sound like a prison riot when combined with other chaotic sounds such as a school bell, moving furniture and with any luck the shouts of teachers (who perhaps serve as wardens).

As we will have limited access to the school in question, we will be very particular about certain priority sounds we must record, and then manage our time when considering other additional sounds that may arise on the day(s).
