SOUNDSCAPE
In the core reading of sound scape we saw how modern humanity is beginning to take over the world with an acoustic environment. A sound that can be heard by the observer is what we call acoustic. These sounds differ in quality and intensity.
Noise pollution results when we don’t listen to this sounds carefully. Listening to this sounds carefully makes more sense than listening to it with an absent mind. Noises are sounds we ignore subconsciously according to Schafer (1977). We must find a way of making environmental acoustic a positive study program. A soundscape consists on objects seen but not heard. Sounds have specific characteristics.
WORKSHOP
We learnt how to set up the voice recording and use the microphone. How to also use the microphone protector when we are doing an outdoor recording.
We had a class activity to use the sound recorder to gather sounds around or outside the friston building by contrasting soundscapes. We are to focus on recording specific sounds.
