Sound of The Summer BRIEF: Produce a one minute sound piece that is your ‘Sound of the Summer’. (you may employ the help of others if needed) Produce in a suitable format to play at the first session. Consider: Atmospheric sounds, language, musical genres, folk songs, soundscapes, background sounds, mechanical sounds, location sounds, spoken word, manifestos & sound effects, please document what, when, & where the piece was recorded.
APPROACH: I wanted to create a music lead sound piece that summed up my summer, I wanted the piece to have a melodic narrative and show the passing of time and the change in mood and spirit. I also wanted to include some found sound into the piece to add underlying texture and moments of interest, I was also wanting to experiment with creating a drum beat or pattern using samples recorded from sounds made from my desk, where I have spent much of the summer working.
