Soundscape Homework

LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINK!!!!!

I created this piece like all the other students, by walking around and recording whatever sounds intrested me. I started off by recording things like the drinking fountain turning on and off, doors opening, elevator buttons that kind of stuff. But what I was most intrested in was the conversations and voices I picked up along the way. Some of them I got just by walking by people and recording. There's one of a couple catching up after not seeing each other for a while, there's one of our teacher, Kate talking to someone about something. The most interesting ones were the ones I were a part of. I talked to a fellow student who is directing a segment of a play, I talked to John Thrasher who is an art teacher here, I talked to Joseph Fahey who is the head of the theatre department, and Terri Winnick who is a sociology teacher. Funny thing is, I never told them I was recording what they were saying, and hopefully they don't sue me over this.

The mood I want to convey is chaos. The piece is sort of a narrative; I'm walking down a hallway and people start talking to me or to each other or what have you, and eventually my brain can't take it and goes into "white out" mode and just drowns out all the noise.
