Sound Machine

When preparing this project I was truly restricted by time and resources. I originally wanted to go along the lines of a traditional machine which made audible sound, something with lots of twisted rubber bands and spinning wheel things. But since I was away all break I just couldn't make that happen, and I had to go a different route. What I came up with was something having to do with implied sound. That idea resonates with me because as a trumpet player I am constantly trying to hear what I play before I play it. That sound in my head is what I wanted the audience to experience.

I found it interesting that a few other people went the implied sound route. Especially interesting was Miles' project, where I thought his point was for us to imagine the sounds associated with the pictures, so I was focusing and intently trying to hear the sounds of lightning, snow, kittens, or whatever, when actually Miles wanted us to react as an audience. It really goes to show that no matter what your intention, the audience will probably do something unexpected with your work.
