Imitate some weather Audio Assignment
I’m going to try to tackle the Imitate some weather audio assignment. In this task, by using only my voice and things around the house, I’m going to imitate some kind of weather.
Tin pans, my shutters, and me going SSSOOOOOSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH should make this project really challenging but fun! I have a Macbook and the Garage Band application that I’ve used for audio files before, so hopefully I can do this project without much headaches.
Ok. Remember the goal of this assignment is to “make it sound as real as possible.” Think about things like the texture and subtlety of the sounds weather makes. Think also about the process of imagining the sounds and then making the effort to approximate them using only the tools that are nearby. What is the most significant component of the challenge?
Finally, how might an assignment like this — not just the weather part, but the whole process — be used to help make a historical argument (you were supposed to write about this a bit in this post!).
