Sound Journal # 10 – Production Meeting
Posted on by

1. Lowe conference room, Thursday, April 10th, 11:15 pm.

2. Sounds furthest from me: I can hear the muffled sound people walking around in the studio next door, another late night of work.

3. Sounds at a medium range from me: Beja, Shawn and Max speak softly to each other during the meeting, discussing their own matters regarding set and lighting for Masquerade’s production of BARE. I can also hear Max typing across the room. Joanna is taping her foot against the table in a soft, rhythmic, relaxing way.

4. Sounds closest to me: Ariel, heard in my field recording, sits beside me and speaks across the table to Meagan and Geena about glow necklaces as a costume/prop for a particular scene. Jack, also next to me, types on his computer, and Marina also interjects on the conversation about costumes. Every so often, when we lean on our side of the table, it makes a slight creaking noise. The air blows from the vent above our heads.

5. The level of sound activity and general sound level: Although Ariel and Marina speak loudly, the sound activity is pretty low. However, it does feel layered with the added undertones of Beja, Max and Shawn’s low voices.

6. Word to describe sound environment: Layered.

7. Three sounds that complete sound environment:
— The boys speaking softly across the room.
— Ariel and Marina speaking somewhat loudly.
— Jack typing beside me.

Sound Journal #10 SHOW ME
Posted on by

1. 4/10/2014, 4:30, Vander Poel 1207

2. Identify the sounds farthest from you: Furthest from me, I can hear the activity outside of my window.  Surprisingly, I hear tons of sounds from the ground bellow my window.  Right now, I can hear a group of people walking from Hofstra USA/Dutch to somewhere past my building.  One of the boys is singing “Show Me” in a weird voice, and I can hear the sounds of keys either in someone’s hands or hanging from their lanyard/wallet.

3. Identify the sounds at medium range:  At medium range, I can hear someone’s music in the shower.  There is a sign between the two showers that says “Your music is probably too loud!”  I don’t really mind hearing someone else’s music in the bathroom, but I do wish she switched up the playlist a little.

4. Identify the sounds closest to you:  Closest to me, I can hear the playbills I have on my wall blowing in the draft from the window.  The wind coming through the window makes a little whistling sound.  I can also hear by bracelet scratching on my computer while I type, and the sound of my keys.

5. General sound level and activity:  The general sound activity is so normal that the singing boy really stands out quite comically.  My floor is always pretty silent, so the general sound activity is very sedate.

6. One word to describe the sound environment:  Unhurried

7. 3 essential sounds to the sound environment: 

-Music from the shower

-Blowing program pages

-People outside
