Brainstorm Blog #2: Sound

This project is very much out of my comfort zone. While we were doing the Adobe Audition lab, I was going through some of the menus for effects and what not and I actually had no idea what any of that ment and how it was supposed to change the sound. I feel I have more concrete ideas of what I want to do for this project, however I have no idea how to execute anything. I feel that having a concrete idea might be not the best for this as it might limit my sound making. It seems there is a lot you can do with sounds and I hope to learn a lot of sound design techniques to create interesting sounds. My goal for this project is to make something that I like and want to reuse.

Approach: something that my ARTS1020 instructor, Tenaya, told me was if I want to create a lamp, to not look at references of lamps rather than what I was the lamp to represent. In my case I wanted to create a bodily lamp so I looked at pictures of gore and bodies and nature.

Ideas: 

• Sound for some video game

• Spooky, unnerving, junji ito, spiral

• Sound for Rapture: Roam/club that is fashion magazine

  • We’re planning on doing something creepy themed, junji ito themed, forest, strange

• It’d be fun to play with climax and resolution. Corrina was talking about how we should have some intro, climax and resolution, however maybe i should make something that is just exposition leading to a climax that isn’t there. 

Warning body horror:
