Final Project Finished

I put in more pauses and made a new mix of wind chimes.

Project 3 Revision

Project3 Revision from diana hunter on Vimeo.

In the revision I remixed the audio using more of the heart thump noise I captured by mistake one time. I also took the last phrase it’s time to move forward and made it more coherent.

Project 2 Revision

The revisions that I made for this project where adjusting the phasing into new sound, background adjustment and fading in and out. In the beginning of the crickets, I took out an odd chirp that I think came from my smoke detector. I also brought the cricket chirping down to be more of a back ground noise once the opening of the door was introduced. Sounds of scratching where then adjusted to become progressively worse instead of a flat position on the audio line. Lastly, I changed the ending to be more smooth between the cricket chirp segments. I also re-introduced the beginning level of sound for the cricket chirping before fading out to the end.

Final Project Update Dec 8th

Here's the updated version of my final.

The speaker is Mrs. Wong and she reflects about the time spent with her grandmother as a child up until college. In the end she notices that time was a lot shorter then she thought when it came to how long she had left with her own grandmother. I hope to relay this idea that time is fickle and that we don't know how long we really have with others, especially our elderly. I added the wind chimes to give the listener a feeling of place and of time passing as she speaks about her short time with her grandmother. I can't say exactly why but wind chimes make me think of reminiscing and story telling.

Final Project so far

Mrs Wong was recorded on Thanksgiving for the 40 minute interview. I went through the two hour audio and found that the memory of her grandmother was the most meaningful part of the interview. I wanted to get across the idea that grandparents are not forever and that we should enjoy the few years that we have with them while we can.
