‘Ive been away but now I’m back’
Sound walk reflective writing
Im very glad I took the time to plan out the walk. I wanted the recording to feature some specific things, moving through a place surrounded in plants, a close up of plants with interaction, and a change of environment (moving from woods to a clearing). I didn’t think about the fact that all the elements I’m trying to vocode and manipulate are all contained in one audio file, should’ve realised this early to be honest. So I’m going to have to record a few elements separately and mix them in. Also my interaction with the plants didn’t produce as much noise as I hoped, so I will have to record this separately. One more problem is the wind gets quite distorted when I walk into the clearing, I should have used a better microphone with a deadcat on it. Im very glad I recorded a video as its really helping me gage the geography of the walk.
