For the sound assignment, my group came up with the idea of leading the class through a recording (or series of recordings), which depict the thrilling story of a person or pair of people making their way through a series of tunnels (rather, underground tunnels) in their attempt to escape from some pursuing threat. We’re not yet quite sure what the threat will be, but we were considering taking a more comic approach and having a zombie chase our victims. The recording would of course feature classic zombie-horror vocals, a horrified narrator (owner of the “found” recording), and background music, which would help set the mood. Having the ‘tour’ featured underground would allow us to experiment with various audio effects (echoes and fades) and different types of sound sources. We also plan to explore a wide variety of audio editing techniques, and hope that our theme is flexible in that it gives us much freedom in our approach.
The tour will take place in an underground tunnel linking the Ross building to the Chemistry building. It’s a long walk with many twists and turns, so we recommend students stay close to the group to avoid being lost.
Here are some top-notch photos of some of the hallways students will be passing through:
