In-Class Assignment: Sounds around my building as a score [will revisit]

Tuning In Exercise: Mapping sounds on campus and their associations

Windplay Exercise:

I created a wind sculpture out of watercolor and trace paper. The watercolor paper served as a structural element from which to affix trace paper strips. First I created one that had a curvilinear spine with trace wrapped around it. Then I figured I would test out a second option, which was watercolor paper strip fixed in a circle with trace hanging from it. I initially brought them outside behind my apartment, but because it is a small park enclosed by mid rise buildings there was no wind. I moved to an alley way next to two high rises because I know there is always a wind tunnel there. The wind sculptures produced slightly different sounds:  the first one produced scrapping sounds as the trace hit the watercolor paper whereas the second created loud, shuddering, crinkly noises as the trace bumped itself.
