ART 214 at Saint Mary's College of Maryland with Fereshteh Toosi

25 January 2007

audio project due 7/8 Feb

31 Jan/1 Feb: written proposal due
7/8 Feb: final project due for critiques

The concept for the sound art project is to create a JOURNEY from one place to another. These could be imaginary places or real places, but you will need to have them defined before you start working. Consider the wide range of choices, from the planet Mars to the St. Mary's River. Brainstorm the possibilities for sounds that might represent your places, and what the listener will experience along the way. See http://soundtransit.nl/book/ for inspiration, as well as the links to other projects that address SOUND+PLACE, below.

Technical Requirements:
1-The piece must use at least one 10 second (or longer) clip of a sound that you recorded yourself, either vocals or concrete sounds.
2-The piece must use at least 3 tracks.
3-No songs or music unless you recorded it yourself.
4-You may use additional samples from Freesound, but you may not add any clips that are not under an appropriate license (no copyrighted material).
5-Final mix-down should be at least 1 minute long, but no longer than 3 minutes.
6-Burn your piece as a playable (not data) CD, and bring your project folder with all work files on flash drive. Include one version of your mix-down as a WAV.
7-Post an MP3 version of your project to your blog.
