Sound Beat Maker

• The idea of making sound by standing on a base which will repeated replay a tone which would make a beat. We thought that the idea was too simple and that it may have been taken. The outcome we thought looked similar to a piano on the ground. The idea was that when you step on the base. The base would create a sound, just like as if you were on a piano with your fingers pressing them to create a sound or beat.

  a relation to our idea is a video clip of this music band

Theme Image sound

• This idea we thought would be ideal for a aural terrains theme. I liked how the idea was different as the concept was shown through an image. As the image played we wanted to show create a floor which had the base, you could stand on the floor and depending on the image. The base would make a sound creating a environmental sound, for example if the them was a forest image. The idea could be that when you step on the floor. Sounds from the jungle could be played to create a picture of what the forest can mean.

Producing a beat through everyday sound

- This idea we thought about it very hard as to how we can make everyday life a part of our everyday sound. We all know that when things clang and bang together we tend to focus and listen only to the sounds our ears and our minds want us to listen too. We wanted to use this as a focus of trying to mix sounds for example tin cans, paper, toys and then trying to create a beat or a sound that the people can listen too and find that each sound has a meaning to what we produce.

an example of this is through the video that inspired us to create everyday sound out of anything
