SOUND/VOICE (Weeks 10-13)

VOICE/SOUND

CRITIQUE 3

Due: November 5, 2013

For next week, you must create a 3-4 minute audio piece to be presented in class on Tuesday November 5. In order to create this work, you will:

1. Create a library of 30 sounds and/or clips.

At least half must be originally recorded by you. Up to 15 clips may be appropriated.
Make a companion text document with the file name, description, and duration of each of these clips. Please note the appropriated clips. Title your clips like this: Lastname_00_description.mp3 (Example: Cage_34_drip.mp3)

2. Create a 3-4 minute audio work that responds to rhythm, narrative, or space. We will screen these in class.

Your audio work must include:

At least 15 of your 30 clips. No more than half of your clips may be appropriated. Bold all of the clips you used in your text document.
The work must include three distinct sections, chapters, or movements.

3. Create a folder with your final audio work, your text file, and library of 30 labeled sounds. Back up onto a thumb drive or hard drive. Please email this directly to your instructor, before the start of class. The file will likely be too big for regular email, so export it as a .zip file, and use wetransfer.com. Bring your computers, with your files to class next week.
