Walking With Laughter
The gallery has finally installed all of the DFSA work used in the exhibition. As you know my work was formed around the area of laughter and the varied emotions expressed from it. Mixing down the different recording was an important, this time around it was my second attempt at developing my idea even further and build a stronger piece. The first time around i had created a compilation of many different sounds that eventually built up into all the sounds playing at once. But I found that method to be a bit messy and confusing, so eventually after speaking to friends and family on what they thought could possibly be changed, and I came up with the idea for the different sounds to exist in some sort of environment whilst using the sounds to create a story.
When it came down to creating an environment for the sounds to exist in i was not to sure on how to approach it until i found a website called http://www.ambient-mixer.com/ which use around eight different sounds all played around the same time to create an atmosphere. The type of atmosphere I had in mind to create needed to be peaceful and calm so when an audience listened to it they felt at ease and relaxed.
The story I want to tell is about an individual who is walking through the forest high in the mountains somewhere and experiences different sounds of, surrounding laughter and sets out to find the whereabouts and eventually comes across its where abouts near a small stream.
The sounds that I had incorporated into the my piece are;
- Walking on gravel
- Pan flute
- Chimes
- Calm wind breeze
- Water stream
Throughout the whole piece there is no dialog, with the exception of laughter, the reason for this is I did not want to distract the listener away from the journey of the story through other sounds.
These are a few of individual sounds used within the piece;
Here is The Finished Product Called
'Walking With Laughter'
