Captured Sound:
This is a sentence in the PPT at the beginning of this week's lecture.
This sentence has caused me to think a lot: I think that the reason why art brings us a lot of beautiful experiences is because a group of people who can mobilize their senses to express what they (the artist) feels in their lives through various media, and then another group of people (audiences) who can use their own senses to feel what they have created all this together to form this beautiful experience, and the same is true in the sound landscape, in addition to the auditory sensation brought by the sound itself. It also requires combining everything around it to create a unique experience.
To give a very simple example: a sound of birdsong, if I just heard the sound itself through the headphones, I might not feel a sunny afternoon, very relaxed lying on a large lawn looking at the blue sky and white clouds, birds singing happily, or walking in the forest after the rain, smelling the plants after the rain, hearing the vibrant birdsong...
In summary, sound is a complete experience that needs to be placed in an environment, composed of everything around it to form a complete picture, and mobilize all senses to complete.
Assignment3-Capture Concrete Sounds&Assemble into a symphonic poem
When I first saw this task, I thought it was challenging – because we needed to collect occasional sounds on campus, which was a bit difficult for a quiet Taicang campus – but luckily I was with my team member Dani and we did have some extras and had a lot of fun along the way.
Step1: Sound acquisition
Here is a list of the sounds we have collected:
- The sound of the wind blowing the fallen leaves on the ground
- The sound of the wind blowing the bark
- Encounter the on-site set up at the campus open day event - Music 1
- Encounter the on-site set up at the campus open day event - Music 2+ technicians check into the microphone (and the sound of my exclamation)
- Encounter the on-site set up at the campus open day event-the sound of a trailer
- The sound of the wind blowing the school billboard
- The sound of the wind blowing plastic bags in the grass
All of the above sounds are Spontaneous！！

Step2-Sound processing with symphonic poem production
We cut it after listening to all the footage, kept some of the footage and produced it in Adobe Audition, and we didn't make any particular changes to the sound, as Pierre Schaeffer did in his work Etude aux Chemins de Fer (1948), just collaged the sound, preserving the music itself.
In the end, it was made according to the flat and high nature of the sound and the logic of natural artificial ...
