Tuning In
For tuning in, I chose to focus on the sounds I hear form my apartment desk. Firstly I started by graphing types of sounds and how they compare to each other in volume and duration. I was fairly abstract which allowed me to focus on the relationships between types of sounds, rather than transcribing the ‘exact’ soundscape. Next I filled in the ‘culprits’ of the sounds, or other possible culprits, and played with volume/persistence and size of drawing.
Windplay
For windplay, I made a chime out of unsold jewelry from my partners old business. The chime was fun to make, and I think looked nice but did not make much noise unless the wind was strong enough to break through the solid and make the rings individuals. The drawings try to illustrate this below.
