7.2 Sound Reflection

This past weekend, I worked with Dahye for the sound project. As I was brainstorming about what sounds to record, I started to focus hard on the sounds around me. It was interesting because I started to notice many different sounds that I have been ignoring and started to appreciate them. Sounds like traffic, wind, and printers all have different volumes and rhythms. It was kind of fun listening to them and even harder for the project. I really enjoyed doing the sound project. I learned that there are so many options you could do with the app, Audacity. It was really nice to mix and mash the sounds that I collected and just kept listening to them all together. Sound is such a strong medium and I have never thought of it like that. The creative freedom that you have with sound is endless because sound is basically everywhere.

Sound is such a strong communication form. People react and respond to it. It would be very fun to incorporate it into a lesson plan. I wonder how students would react to creating a new sound for themselves. How would they respond and would they enjoy doing that? As I was researching different sound art online, I came across this very recent article that showcases today's influential sound artists: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/12-sound-artists-changing-perception-art-587054
