Week 4: Audio Assignment #2

For my second audio assignment, I wanted to experiment with recording sound. I found the assignment “What’s the Story Morning Glory?” and felt it would be a fun assignment to complete, as no dialogue was allowed, only sounds. To record the sounds of my morning, I used the Voice Memos app on my brand new iPhone 6. I decided that I wanted to capture two parts of my morning: getting up and preparing for my day in the bathroom, and fixing my morning meal of Fruity Pebbles (my favorite cereal!). I then emailed the files in an MP4 format to myself and used SoundCloud to upload the sounds.

I have to admit I felt uncomfortable recording my morning pee, but I felt like editing it out or not including it altogether would not be truthful to the assignment. I was so surprised with how good the sound quality of the clips was! Below are the both clips, unedited:

Getting up, using the bathroom, brushing my teeth, and taking a shower.

FRUITY PEBBLES!!!


This morning

For my second audio assignment this week I did an audio recording of my morning. I used voice memos to capture the sound of my morning and was really surprised to hear how everything came out. I wonder if anyone else can figure out what some of the noises refer to.

Whats the story Morning Glory?

Whats your morning sound like? Tell a narative of a regualr (or abnormal) morning using the movements and sounds from getting off the bed, to starting the day.  This has to be all your own recording so no sound effects from outside sources. And try to keep the dialouge  minimum to none at all.
