Experimental Sound - Process of Making my Soundscape (Recording)

When recording the sounds for my project, I didn't exactly know what I wanted to record. I had the idea to see what sound I could record with the resources that were available to me and then come up with a narrative based around the sounds that I gathered. One of the first sounds that I recorded was of 2 knives sharpening against each other. This was the sound that made me think of the narrative for my soundscape. After recording the knives I decided to try and collect sound that would make a soundscape for a murder scene taking place. After deciding to follow the route of a murder scene, I then had to think about the sounds that you would normally hear in a murder scene. I thought about what sort of noises I could use to replicate a body falling on the floor and so I used a packed bag and dropped in on the floor from head hight which created the sound perfectly. Another sound that I created was of the body being dragged across the floor; I got this sound by using the same bag and just dragged it across my bedroom floor and the outcome was exactly what I needed. Overall I really enjoy recording sound , the only problem that I find with it is knowing what materials to use to create the best possible outcome.
