Soundscapes: Image #3 - Original Sounds

These are the original sounds that I used for the image 3 soundscapes. The sounds are used are of my foot rubbing the carpet, my pen tapping on a glass of water, myself swinging on my leather chair and me using my asthma pump.

Soundscapes: Image #3 - Final Soundscape

This is the soundscape for the third image. As I mentioned in the concept, it should be easy to hear, with gentle tones, but still have a sci-fi feel to it, due to it's resemblance to bacteria. I quite like this, although is a bit messy and obscure, which wasn't the intended aim.

This is the final soundscape for the second image. Like the first, I am quite happy with this as it links to the concept that I described well. It's quite cheerful and colourful, and has all the high pitch tones that it should have.

This is my final soundscape for image 1. I am very pleased with it as it is consistent and fits the original concept well, with it's concept beat throughout and by it being confusing in the middle, it create a tense feeling that I described in the concept.

Soundscape - Initial Ideas

I know this is quite a late post, but these are my initial thoughts about the pictures and what sounds I imagine:

 This picture is very blocky and organised, so a constant drum-type beat would make sense. The picture does have a section that looks like it's collapsing, so the beat could get faster and the overall sound may sound more and more tense as it progresses. The pitch would remain constant, and with the lack of light, would be quite low and dark.

 The very sharp, splinter like objects create the impression of high pitched short noises, almost like ticking, but very short sounds. The picture is very messy, so the sounds would be very confusing and abstract. The bright colours, however, do make the "splinters" seem quite joyful and vibrant, so maybe, although, the sounds maybe abstract, they could also be quite fun and enjoyable.

This picture looks like bacteria, but it has a soft, almost cuddly look, that may make very gentle and easy on the ear sounds. The sounds of the worm like objects creeping over the green sphere, would sound like rubbing furry objects together. As the "worms" continue to cover the sphere, we'd see less and less of it, so maybe the sounds could get faster and create a feeling of tension, as it progresses.
