Project 2 - Mapping Sound (day 1)

24 September 2010, Friday

We've started a new exercise called Sound Walk. In this exercise, we will be utilizing and developing the listening skills learnt at the end of last week. It will be recorded with using Zoom H4n digital recorder. First, we need to know about audio culture. The audio culture is a diverse group of art practices that considers wide notion of sound, listening, and hearing as its predominant focus. It has filtered into many everyday aspects of society such as TV, film and video games. Also it can be explored our everyday environment, from machine to weather.
From this exercise, we need to a team to work as group.

First, take a Zoom H4n recorder to certain location which needs to record. The location should be each different place and recorded each different time. Second, keep recording until the battery is run up. Whenever we record the sound long or short, we will use the program called audacity to edit a recorded sound and making a new sound up to 3 minutes. While the recording is process, be careful of any noises around the sound recorder. Because the recorder records everything include noise.

And then as I said above, we need to edit the sound and make it about 3 minutes long. Also have to make individual and group audio. We use audacity which very easy to edit and export to mp3 files.
Today, I decide to make a team:
* Robin Tey
* Daniel Lee(me)
* Versha Naidu
* Yoshin Naidoo
After making a team, we've decide research more about Mapping sound and audio culture. And think of how we going to record and edit it. And we decide to continue discuss on next Tuesday.
