Working on this project really exposed my lack of music talent. Using sounds from http://www.freesound.org I transformed and processed them and put it all together into this. The theme of the piece is transit-based noises. This was hard. Working with non-musical noise in a musical sphere is tough.
My classmates did some interesting work on this project…This is what I ended up with.

I swear I’ve heard something like this before! This is awesome man!!! I can see how you take a frustrated view of it; it seems as if the piece moves too quickly. By this I mean, there are great sounds that are compiled together, but they go away and are replaced by new sounds too quickly. I hear these awesome effects, but instead of layering and adding to the complexity of the piece they are forgotten in favor of whatever is meant to come next. As long as you stay consistent in your direction for the piece, its okay to have more going on to develop a rhythm or to complicate the overall mood.
I still really enjoyed it, especially the part with the emergency sirens. The “seagull” noises (is that what they are) add awesome ambiance too. Man, overall I’m impressed.
