Constructed Sound Critique- 03/29/10

Kelsey: sounds like an obnoxious old elevator going up and down with a weird demonic spirit riding in it. Perhaps the beeping is the sound of the passing floor. Reminds me of the Tower of Terror, especially with the broken up, repetitive elevator music. Makes me feel uneasy, which is what I think she was going for. Nice consistency.

Ryan: couldn't relate he space of the elevator or the hallway with this track. I feel like there is too much experimentation with this sound that it just ends up sounding random. Perhaps I misunderstood the intent with the way the class was divided into groups to listen to the sound.

Emily: Classic and R&B remix. Very Hectic. Like a broken record, both old school, classic and new school, hip-hop. I get a sense of imbalance and chaos. Momentary soundtrack to two individuals crazy lifestyles from different eras. Played off of last fragmented sound piece and took it to a different level.

Will: Neighborhood/Classroom. The narration of what is in an individuals head. Every new "moment" in the track justifies or touches base on the previous "moment".

Joel: Also very similar to previous fragmented sound project. Took a cliche, scary sound, and made it even creepier, which I didn't think was possible. The location (hallway) that the sound was heard in added to that effect as well. Very humorous too with the "Im alive" line. Great job.

Gaby: Can tell that you used sound from previous Betty Boop song, but more distorted, which was an even better choice! Has that child-like, murder story, "I'm gonna getcha", feel to it.

Leslie: Firecracker-like noises is was stood out to be the most. Was consistently inconsistent. Some silence, but not calm silence. Random noises. Don't let the sun explode! HaHa. Loved it!

KT: Reminds me of someone in mourning. Feels like a scene from Shutter Island, when the kids were killed in the lake. A peaceful tune to tell a sad story. Tastefully squeamish for me. I like this very much, maybe because I just saw the movie.
