Soundscape

Well, lets see how long I keep this going, but here is a soundscape put together today. It was made with recordings I made myself on the whole. The impact sound of the bike hitting the floor and also of the wheel spinning at the end were downloaded from an open source website. All other sounds were recorded using an Edirol. Traffic noises were recorded on Brixton Hill last week and the various bike sounds (bell, pedalling, gear shift click) were recorded in my back garden.

The piece is intended as a narrative. The brief was to use the Oblique Strategy devised by Brian Eno http://www.rtqe.net/ObliqueStrategies/

I had the following three randomnly generated phrases and was supposed to use them to inspire my soundscape:
- fear
- open your eyes
- meditate

I kind of ditched meditate to be honest. Here's the soundscape


Shit I wanted to embed a player, not a link to the file, and that was diverting from the page so I deleted it. This this frying my brain and I have research to do (on Shadow again) so I will try again tomorrow.
