First draft + Feedback

In our final lesson with Ingrid, we were asked to show what we had made so far. I had not yet properly started editing so was only able to show my very first draft. For my first draft, I spent an afternoon on the 10th of March going from Elephant & Castle to Harrow & Wealdstone recording the uncomfortable to listen to noises. I then listen to each recording for the most fitting noises and edited them together into one 2-minute WAV file. These recordings were taken on my phone and edited together originally using an online audio editor called AudioMass, this was due to the fact that I did not own Protools. We played our pieces over the speakers in M108 and then received feedback from both Ingrid and our fellow classmates.

I was told by Ingrid that it was a good first draft and the floor was open for others to speak. Miles said that “the underground naturally has a rhythm to it, like a song. It would be good if you could add reverb to make the sounds a bit more dynamic and highlight that rhythm and musicality.” Lucas said that “It’d be very interesting if you could pan the sounds, just to make it sound interesting.” I took these into consideration and found listening to the other pieces very helpful
