compilation

I am making a couple of little compilations of the sounds and images I have been recording. This one is busy and noisy sounds with pictures of quiet places.

stitching it all together...

....into a little film type thing in Premier Pro. It is 16 minutes long and I am just going to play it on a loop so people can come along and see bits and pieces as and when.

EDIT: this is rubbish, I shelved it and did a few other shorter ones that make a bit more sense, still this was a good starting point for that.

Basically I wanted to present the sounds along side images that are unrelated, all the sounds and images were taken for this project so you will see a beach, hear it later, hear some hail, see it later etc to see how the your feelings about either the pictures or the sound would change depending on what is with it .

Manchester Libraries, recording quiet places

So one of the initial ideas I had for this project was to map quiet places, create a map of quiet places to go around the city or find ways to create and find quiet space in a noisy city. Manchester is not a city with a great deal of parks large enough for quiet reflection, any significant green space in the city centre or anywhere really that can be said to be "quiet", and I don't mean silent, of course just, you know, not on the street sound levels.
So, of course I thought to start the quiet map in the incredible collection of libraries we have here.
