Content Development II

Sound

What kind of sound should be my installation?


Well I have narrowed down the category of spy that should be on my installation,

- Secret / gossips
- Curiosity in sound
- Sound in everyday life



Revise how sound affect us everyday:


Physiology – breathing, heart rate, brainwaves
Psychological – emotion, mental state etc
Cognitive – can’t listen to two things at once.
Behavior - The actions or reactions of a person

I will try to implement this effect on sound that will be in my installation.
Well I have made some research about this on my SRI , here a part of chapter 1 :


     Firstly music evokes emotional reactions in people through a combination of its elements: rhythm, tempo, melody, themes, chords and instrumentation. There are many different musical styles that appeal to different people for different reasons.

Secondly speeches is sound generated by the human vocal cords and is a very expressive medium. The advantage it has over written text is that it is much more defined. Cotton and Oliver wrote on the advantage of speech over text:

"The added advantage is that we can also hear the tone of voice, intonation, pace and rhythm, which can further clarify and illuminate what is being said." (Cotton/Oliver, 1997, p 81)

Then finally sound effects, also named ambiance or environmental sounds, are sounds that give the listener a sense of being in an actual space, the listeners could imagine themselves in a different world. They provide a good way to achieve an immersing experience.



Sound that should be in my installation:

Contain:

- Secret / gossips
- Curiosity in sound
- Sound in everyday life

From

-         Speech or conversation
-         Sound in everyday life
-         Music if possible
-         ambience / sound effect
-         accident/unplanned sound

Its seem like i need some talents for sound recording and a good scripts.
This content development is the harder part of my project , I need more time to think and research what should I record to really give the more impact on the users . But for now, I stick with above list.
