Soundscape2.mp3

In this new soundscape I have utilized the panning, volume and time scaling effects and automation.

The piece begins with a rustling paper that i gradually increased the rate at which it pans between the 2 channels. It is a fantastic creepy effect that makes me dizzy when i listen to it.

The additional sounds that I've used are the same as in the first soundscape, as you can see in the accompanying score.

The one sound that I'm particularly proud of is the high pitched frequency squeal that goes almost all the way through the piece. It is an already time stretched and "spear" dissected audio sample that i have again stretched with Protools. I have duplicated this sound and made the second copy slightly out of align with the first to create a distinct dissonance. In addition to this dissonance, i panned one to the left speaker and the other to the right. This sound actually gives me a headache when i listen to it through headphones. In the score i have indicated this through a stretched photo of rubbing paper. I know that stretching the photo isn't entirely an assignment parameter, but if i had done this in real life, i would have done something of a similar nature. For example, place many pieces of paper together to create a very long piece.

The score is very similar to the original, so i won't go into too much detail in explaining it. But the different thing about this score is that now the alternating pictures means a panning from left to right speaker. The rest of the score is very descriptive and you can see how i have created the sounds in the soundscape.

This photo shows the panning of the different sounds.

This photo shows the volume of the different sounds.

I have used Protools 7.3
