Our prompt was to observe our everyday sounds and record two contrasting soundscapes. This recording was from the same place but at different times: Solano Canyon (Los Angeles) when nothing was happening vs. when a Dodgers game was happening (during & after). 

We broke into assigned groups and went on a field recording trip around campus. Our task was to interact with an area and each make a recording. Then, we are free to manipulate the recording how we see fit. My group found a spot in the library where we hit shelves and its flotsam. I then took the recording and manipulated it with a modular synth.

Our prompt was to be apart of the recording by activating a space and actively particupate in the soundscape. The constraints were much looser, so I recorded a bedroom electro-acoustic track. Using the Field Kit (KOMA Elektronik), I mixed radio, cassette loop, and a contact mic to a small speaker while a voltage–controled DC motor excited a string of hooves.

The final project was to simply have fun and explore, while using field recordings as the main feature. I used vinyl samples, cassette loops, dictaphone recordings, voice memos, and Zoom recordings meshed together.
