I’ve created a basic instructional score for myself to follow at least initially for the first stage. I’m going to write a script and record myself to see how long the timings will be when doing my audio document. I don’t feel like implementing any instructions in this audio document unless maybe at the beginning or in certain aspects when I play extracts to make the listener reflect on how the soundscape made them feel. My goal for this paper is to bring the idea of sound design for cities into the conversation again.
Instructional Score:
Startup jingle music plays.
Introduce myself
Introduce the subject that I have decided to do my audio document
Then describe the thesis that I will be discussing.
Discuss the initial idea of noise pollution and its effects.
Reflect the notions of noise pollution with recorded soundscapes.
Play short extracts to immerse the listener in the effects of soundscapes.
Discuss the social-political issues of noise pollution.
Reflect on artists work such as Sam Auinger. (maybe extract of interview)
Discuss the design of cities currently.
Discuss how sound artists can play a definitive role in designing cities acoustically and with sound installations.
Conclude on my opinion of how important this should be.
Ending jingle plays.
