Week Nine
Over the Easter holidays I went to collect my sounds. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go on the walk I’d originally had in mind but at the first sign of sunshine I headed to the heart of Yorkshire and went on a circular walk that would provide similar sound sources to the ones I’d planned for.
I did however encounter quite a few problems when recording the sounds. Mainly this was how much background wind noise was being picked up. However, when I wasn’t at the top of the hill I got some really good recordings of the river and the waterfall. I also discovered a water pump that could produce some interesting colours in my second composition.
In the end I got recordings of the following sounds:
- Footsteps
- Grass
- Gate being opened
- River
- Waterfall
- Water pump
- Birdsong
