Frappucino in a Lonely Hallway - My Soundscape

http://www.ourmedia.org/media/frappucino-lonely-hallway

This is my compilation of random sounds into a single soundscape.

I wondered about the halls of Ovalwood gathering whatever sounds I happened across. The clacking of a keyboard, a totally out of context conversation, the opening and drinking of a frappuccino bottle, and the sound of an empty hall all made their way onto my sound card.

I simply began by wanting to make a very realist piece. I took the hollow sounding hum of the hallway and used it as my background. I then moved the conversation up and down in loudness. The drink dominates because it is closest to the ear. I really was working with creating depth of the soundscape in terms of proximity to the listener. Hopefully, this sounds exactly like the title promises. I simply wanted to simulate a mundane action that might go on outside any given room on campus.

  1. Interesting! It is neat to compare your soundscape with Josh's....his is more of a 3rd person experience and yours is first person.
