Ideas for Project 3

I decided to focus on the rhythmic aspects of sound such as beats, musical instruments (i.e guitar), and everyday technological instruments. I was thinking of layering these ideas on top of each other to create a rhythmic and interesting piece.

For the written portion, I want to discuss noise pollution, sound scape, and rhythmic elements in everyday life. I want to discuss the social and cultural influences of sound and noise, the psychological aspects that I have determined over the course of the fall term.

I am unable to play the guitar because I never really tried. However, the wonderful audacity will allow me to edit the guitar sounds to create a rhythmic piece. I have been inspired by Tony Conrad. By strumming one note, I can create something interesting.

As for everyday industrial sounds, I am thinking about trains and drills. Let us see how it goes.

IMPORTANT *****A question to ponder: When a train moves along the tracks accompanied by music, do people interpret the sounds of the train and tracks as part of the soundtrack. Or do they see them as separate entities, music on one side and train on the other. ******* IMPORTANT

Breaking glass just popped into my head.
