Project 2 Critique

Mike:

1. I liked the echoing effect on some of the sounds.

2. It could’ve had more going on with the sounds, like overlapping of multiple sounds at once.

3. Made me feel like I was working or studying outside, then just going on with a typical day in the life.

Rob:

1. I like the use of effects to make it sound more electronic. The ending was fun.

2. I think some of the sounds went on a bit too long by themselves.

3. It made me feel like I was in a techy cityscape.

Alki:

1. I really like the rhythm of the song and it was fun to listen to.

2. It seemed like more of a song rather than a soundscape.

3. I felt that the intended purpose of the song was clear, and I felt like I was in a tunnel or some spooky place underground with water that was dripping. The music in the background gave the impression that someone is on a mission.

Jeremy

1. I like how there was such a variety of sounds, and how the mood really changed throughout the song.

2. The beginning was very abrupt and shocking, and some parts were very loud.

3. There was a chaotic energy, it made me feel like I was on speed or something, having a very fast paced and eventful day, experiencing all the senses to the fullest.

Cal:

1. I thought the transition between sounds blended pretty nicely.

2. Towards the end there were a lot of sounds happening at once and it became kind of overwhelming.

3. The beginning was very peaceful and dreamy, like a nice summer’s day. It then transitioned to more of a scary dream, and then an abrupt wake up at the end.

Julia:

1. I liked the transitions between sounds, and how the baby was kind of a constant throughout most of it.

2. I don’t know how I felt about the ad lib dialogue throughout it.

3. It sounded like a typical day in the life of a working mom at home.

Hannah:

1. I liked how it clearly communicated a specific event.

2. The beginning was kind of slow, there were periods where I couldn't hear much of anything.

3. I think it did capture the feeling of a peaceful hike, with a run alongside a dog towards the end.

Caden:

1. I liked the consistency of the snoring in the background.

2. I was confused by what the ending was trying to communicate.

3. It definitely felt like a morning, making breakfast while someone was sleeping.

Garrett:

2. I thought the ending could have had more going on, I couldn't hear anything.

3. It did make me feel stressed, like I had a lot of stuff to get done, and people that needed my attention

Tasia:

1. I like how the cat sounds were a consistent part throughout.

2. The beginning started off a bit slow in my opinion.

3. I think it portrayed a consistently busy, but not stressful work day.

Brendan:

1. I like how the mood shifted a lot throughout, but the drinking of beverages was a common theme.

2. I think it was unclear at some points at what was supposed to be going on.

3. In the beginning I felt like I was in a coffee shop or something, and then maybe just a journey throughout a person’s day.

Jake:

1. I thought the theme was really fun and interesting.

2. I liked the voices for occasional commentary but I didn't think it needed to narrate everything that was happening.

Maggie

1. I liked how calming and peaceful the sounds were.

2. I thought the beginning started a little slow and it was very quiet.

2. I wish there had been more transitions in mood.

3. I felt like I was at a restaurant, listening to the sounds of preparing drinks and food.

Michael

1. I liked the use of music in this one, not many other people used that in theirs. Even though there was music it still sounded like a soundscape and not a song.

2. I think more of a variety of sounds could have been used, it was a bit repetitive at times.

3. I think the color purple is a hard thing to capture, but this soundscape did make me feel calm yet a little funky. I almost felt a sense of texture from this.

Megan

1. I enjoyed the variety of water sounds used so it wasn't too repetitive.

2. I was a bit confused as to what was supposed to be happening when it got a bit chaotic towards the end.

3. The beginning made me feel like I was a mermaid, and then it seemed like they went on with their life as a human.

Gavin:

1. I think he captured the feeling of a shipyard pretty well, yet there was still a variety of sounds within.

2. It seems like there were a lot of sounds not from the file in there.

3. Definitely captured the ambiance and background noise of a shipyard.

Jacob:

1. I liked the use of edits on the sounds.

2. Some of the sounds were repetitive.

3. The sounds really created a buildup of energy at times, although the point was sometimes confusing. I think based off of the beginning this has to do with a drug trip possibly.

Sarah O:

1. I liked how subtle and peaceful the sounds were.

2. I was a bit confused as to the exact theme of the soundscape, it could have been more clear.
