Manipulating sound
Today’s studio class involved us playing around with sound and noticing just how much information can be found (and manipulated) from a single piece of audio. Sound plays just as important a part as the visuals itself, and is capable of introducing its viewers to an experience, be it long-lived or ephemeral.
We took a snippet from one of our Assessment 1 audio files, and I added a reverb and delay to it. Everybody worked on creating their own masterpieces, and we proceeded to the hallways of Building 13 where the sounds from our Macs filled the air. With our devices in hand, we entered the lift and proceeded to the fourth floor of the building, and continued our journey by taking the stairs all the way back down. Our sounds filled every corner, and it was a disorganised yet fascinating noise.
Later at night, I went for an event and did a little bit of recording. Took a snippet of it, and played around with it. This short audio is what I got – a secondĀ of chaos.
