For this project, I focused on creating an eerie echo to the sound files and making isolated sounds on the synth pad that would sound like a suspenseful situation( think Jack Nicholson in The Shining). I used about twenty different sounds from the files and used multiple effects.
It was a struggle not to try and create a song, I think that David Dunn’s article is right, we do look for patterns in everything. I had to completely change my perspective on Garage Band, and instead of creating a traditional melody, it was important to create a composition of sounds that happen in everyday life. I needed to focus on combining the sounds, yet still keep the sounds unique enough to hear individually. Some of the sounds like the plastic bag or potato crunch became similar after the effects were added.
This was my first time using sounds that were not already programmed in Garage Band and I thoroughly enjoyed trying something new.
