On Tuesday we received the soundscapes from Offenburg.
They were a lot more diverse in their approach than ours were – or perhaps just had a bigger variation in skills level.
It was kind of funny that we had just assumed that they would be doing their soundscapes in English. Or rather that we had put no thought into potentially reading ours out in German. There is being anthropocentric, and then there’s that…
We were paired with Gruppe 6. They had chosen the room locale. It had a very eerie feel to it; a reciting of objects echoed by a group of voices. A sort of buzzing sound was was also prominent throughout the soundscape. Other than that, it felt very empty. Like being in an empty room. I think it gives us a lot of creative freedom to add in our video to the exquisite corpse.
