If My Boring Days...

...had a theme song. It's pretty self-explanatory in concept. I kept falling asleep everytime I listened to it....so I guess it serves it's purpose well.

Enjoy your nap.

Apart from manipulating sounds created by machines, I also experimented with a few objects that could potentially create sounds that are similar to giant footsteps and other environmental elements.

My main goal for this project is to create a soundscape of machines in rivalry with each other. I wanted to create an environment of both chaos and confusion, but my main focus is to simply experiment and see what I get.

Here's my sound piece:
