As part developing my final project, I began experimenting with recording different sounds that could be used within the soundtrack. Since my project focuses on the relationship between movement, sound and visual art I wanted to explore hoe everyday sounds created during the art-making process could be transformed into musical or rhythmic elements.

I started by recording a variety of sounds that might occur while creating artwork. These included pencil marks or paper and tapping objects against a desk turning pages and hand movements on a desk. I wanted to see how clearly these sounds could be captured and whether they could be manipulated into something more creative.

After recording the sounds, I imported them into my editing software and experimented with changing their timing and repetition. Some sounds worked well as rhythmic elements, particularly the scratching of a pencil and the tapping of objects. By repeating these sounds and placing them in sequence, I was able to create simple patterns that felt musical rather than purely environmental.

One experiment involved taking a short pencil scratching sound and looping it repeatedly. This created a textured that could sit underneath other audio layers while still relating directly to the action being shown on screen.
