Test recording of the soundscape surrounding my house. I’m thinking of subtly layering sounds from a different environment over the top of these recordings(specifically sounds that wouldn’t be necessarily heard in the place where the recordings are made) as an experiment relating to my essay topic. which is to discuss the redefinition of noise pollution from the individual’s social, cultural and visual context. I was thinking of recording in 5.1 for the completed project as well as supplying a video of the location to supplement the audio with a visual element so the recognition of certain sounds may stand out further to the viewer. I will be going to the countryside tomorrow where I will collect recordings of chickens, farming equipment and the general countryside ambience which I will then mix into the soundscape of Elephant and Castle at specific points. This piece will be an experiment into the individual listener’s idea of what noise pollution is, each listener will have different sounds that their attention is brought to and it will be interesting to see which sounds stand out to each person.
