New Proposal (These are the sounds of our life)
Topic: Remix
Do you often think of the plethora of sounds we ingest on a daily basis? From the mundane clicking of a remote control to the blaring roar of traffic during rush hour, we have developed an innate ability to tune these things sounds out in favour of visual sensations, we have become deaf to them.
But what if a listener was confronted with a barrage of vernacular sounds? How would he or she react and interperet these sounds when there is no other stimuli to reference?
"These are the sounds of our life" will present the viewer with a day's worth of ordinary sounds condensed into two minutes of layered composition. The sounds will become obscurred, jumbled, stacked and unavoidable and as a result, the listener will be forced to confront the sounds of contemporary living in a new context.

Change of Heart
Okay so as the title states, I have had a change of heart. Well, that is to say technical difficulties have forced me to change my last project dealing with sound. So, you can ignore the previous blog as my new proposal deals with condensing mundane sounds from an ordinary day off into one compact two minute fragment of time. Stay tuned it will be coming soon.

The meaning and context of motion imagery (i.e.movies, television etc.) relies heavily on the sound presented with such a piece. Without sound dialogue would be meaningless, action sequences would lose their punch, documentaries would relay no information and music videos would be silent.
With that being said, what might happen when the expected sound of a video arrangement was tampered with? Would the viewer be able to tell the original context of the film? Could the meaning be changed to something coherent? Or would the tampered piece seem like nothing more than a cheap copy?
In my piece I plan on using old video stock of propoganda films from World War II and dub them over with sounds from modern day advertising to explore the relationship between image and sound.
What will hopefully be accomplished will be an interesting dialogue between the ambiguities of the video and the crass dialogue of post-modern advertising techniques.
