First Draft Complete

We have completed our first recording session and were successfully able to record many of the sounds listed previously, as well as a few additions. The full, unedited clips of sound that we recorded can be found in their entirety here.

One of the most important additions to the sound recordings was the heartbeat (ZOOM 31-33 on the link), created by rhythmically tapping on a pin board. We intended for the heartbeat to act as a metronome; something that would act as a template for the rhythm of the other sounds.


Above is a screenshot of part of the first draft of our project, arranged in Pro Tools. This draft is rather similar to our original idea, in that the sounds overlap and intertwine to form a rhythm (which is evident in the image through the placement of the tracks). The heartbeat plays at a constant rate throughout the piece; acting as the aforementioned metronome. The rhythm of this heartbeat acts as a template for the rhythm of the other sounds and therefore, reflects the repetitiveness of this morning routine. The full track can be found here.
