I have done a project similar to this one in one of my film classes last year, only it was a third of the length. So initially, I was nervous to compose an audio project that is a whooping 4 minutes and 33 seconds. I began by just experimenting with my sounds, trying to memorize what each audio effect does to a sound. Then I gathered my favorite/the most unique audios I could find in our class’s shared folder. A lot of the sounds were very similar, but still offered an opportunity to make a unique soundscape. My goal was to create a world of sounds that takes my listeners on a journey. I wanted to show what anyones average day-to-day life could sound like. I enjoyed starting with sounds that resonate with the feeling of winding down, getting home, saying hi to your kitty, and then hitting the bong to relax. But then I found myself taking my audio in a more intense direction. I went with it, and it ended up sounding like being paranoid or greening out. All of the sounds around you feel like you're sinking into them. Sometimes it is easy to block them out, sometimes it is not. I had an audio in there that was two friends talking and laughing, I wanted this to symbolize how it feels to be around the right person during that experience. Eating was obviously a big part of that process as well and then it gets really haunted. The purpose for that tone switch was just to keep the sounds interesting. When you're making an audio that is longer than a normal song, you have to have a lot going on to keep people engaged. Which is kind of ironic considering this project is inspired by an artist who sits at a piano in silence for that entire duration. I think his concepts emphasize that less can be more if you really focus on what you're listening to. I would not say I would do this again but it was fun to play around with and learn more about Adobe Audition.
