SITE-SPECIFIC, IMMERSIVE SOUND WALKS
DUE: 11/3/2024 MIDNIGHT
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
For this project you will create a sight specific, sound walk that uses either stereo or binaural recording techniques or combination or both.
– The walk must be site specific to the space or location you have chosen.
– Do not select a location outside of the specified zone*
– The walk can be indoors, outdoors or a combination of both.
– Please keep the walk between 10-15 minutes. Want it to be longer, please talk to me.
– When finished, mixdown your multitrack and convert to an 320kbps mp3 file.
– Share it with me via WeTransfer or Google Drive.
– I MUST receive your work no later than Sunday November 3, 2024 at midnight. Please be sure the mp3 bit rate is 320kbps.
PLANNING FOR YOUR PIECE
– Decide on a starting and ending point for your piece. Be sure to visit your location.
– Pay attention to the subtle nuances of the environment, architecture, etc… Can any of these be used or referenced in your walk?
– Explore the location to discover elements that can be discovered and taken advantage of in your work.
– Record, Record, Record. You may check out the Zoom Recorders or the Ambisonic recorder from me or my studio manager. Microphones may be used during class time.
– The project can utilize pure sound, narrative/spoken word, a combination of both or an entirely different approach. If you opt for something unique, please clear it with me before beginning work.
– Bring the map back to class next week (10/16) with your location.
