In our first lesson with James, he have us our brief for the soundscape project and inducted the class on how to use the zoom microphones. He also split us up into groups and gave each group an emotion and we were told to go off and record sounds that we felt best represented the emotion we were given. My group were given 'Serenity' so we decided to record sounds that we felt would put the audience at ease and help them relax and appreciate the tranquility of the sounds. One of the sounds we recorded was the sound of a kettle boiling and when we played it back, it sounded a lot like rain which was very soothing. Another sound that we managed to get was the sound of spreading butter onto a slice of toast which when played back really was lovely to listen to in such a clear frequency.
The brief that we have been set is to choose one of the provided images and make a soundscape that we think best represents it, considering it follows one of the following:
- A Journey
- A Narrative
- A Space
- A Passage of Time
Below are the 8 images that we were given to choose from. I have decided to choose 'House' by Rachael Whiteread as the image I want to make a soundscape to.
House, Rachael Whiteread, 1999
Study After Velasquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X, Francis Bacon, 1953
The Mystery and Melancholy of the Street, Georgio Di Chirico, 1914
Dull Gret, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, 1562
Maman, Louise Bourgeois, 1999
Obnoxious Liberals, Jean-Michel Basquait, 1982
Shibboleth, Doris Salcedo, 2007
Yellow Red Blue, Wassily Kandinsky, 1925
