Personal Creative Practice:
1) Reflect critically on your experience of putting sounds in a particular context. What was the effect of placing sounds within a particular site or place? What worked as expected and what surprised you? Why? Post your thoughts on your blog.
2) Draw a mind-map based on sounds that are important to you for your project. What places, spaces or sites do they concern? What meanings do these each have? How do they connect or inter-relate? Post this mind-map on your blog.
For this exercise we located our Bluetooth speaker just outside the college, as soon as you get out in the glass doors. People seemed a bit surprised when listening the sounds; we played field recordings and noise sounds, so nothing too musical. These tracks also merged with the environmental sounds, cars, sirens and chatting, which created an interesting texture.
Here I have created a mind-map with some locations and concepts present on my project:
