And So It Begins!

Hello! Rose here! or @theregoesrose if you’re a tweeter.

Welcome to the Soundogg stratosphere.. it’s good to have you. Round about now you’re walking around Lincoln gathering your sounds, big shout out to those who have just climbed the mountain known as “Steep Hill”. My hot tip? – There’s a good pub up there, I’m sure you can find some sounds in there right? Clinking glasses, slurring men, the whispers of drunk tales gone by…

I was a student once.. and this is an example of an experimental soundscape me and some friends worked on.

I hope you’ve tweeted your selfies? We are going to need those later. Remember to add #soundogg plus @onthesoundar so we can collect them all up.

We’re all looking forward to hearing your soundscapes, in fact we are setting up the macs as I type; equipped with editing software, keyboards and Wifi!

When collecting your sounds, think outside of the box.. lie down on the floor, find a space with an interesting echo, don’t just record from your eyes view.. the same sound can change in different locations. Think about the edit – could you reverse the sound? chop it up? slow it down? mix it with another sound? Are you going to use your voice? How can you use your voice? What will you say? OR… how about.. are you ready for this one?.. the use of silence! How might you use silence in your piece? Does silence even exist? Maybe that’s a conversation for another time over a pint.. or three. Sound is powerful when put into the right hands, manipulate it, make it yours.

We have a wonderful team waiting for you in the edit room, stay safe and think in sound. Don’t forget to grab some lunch, food is fuel!
