Audio evaluation

Having listened to the recorded audio I was pleasantly surprised from a technical perspective in that the separate elements (such as sounds of leaves rustling, wind, high pitched ring of the pole) within the recording compliment each other so as to create a naturalistic atmosphere. I wonder however, the potential to experiment with the microphone perspectives from alternative distances between different elements to create a more dense atmospheric sound. From a poetic perspective I consider the rhythm of the different rustling leaves and rings and the way in which it can offer a musical element to the recording and how that musical characteristic influences the listener’s experience. It is interesting how the sound immediately resonates with the memory so that I can visualise a natural earthy atmosphere with swaying trees and passers by. Interestingly, although we manipulated the rustling of the leaves to establish a windy environment, it sounded as though there were footsteps which added another layer of complexity to the recording.
