Sound expo

My project was supposed to be a tribute to all the classic thrasher movies that I used to watch as a kid such as "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween". In those movies there always seemed to be a scene or two that had to do with one person walking alone in either a hallway or on a path in the forest in which they heard footsteps and whispers coming in all directions around them. I decided to play off this Idea by putting two audio devices both of which played off of mp3 players. In my project The first audio device that you come upon is the one playing footsteps. and the second is the one where there are whispers. If I were able to do this project again there is a few things that I would have done differently. The first one is that I would have recorded the noises much louder than I did. I think that it was difficult for some people to hear anything at all. But that was not the case for everybody because I had multiple people tell me that what they felt was unnerving when they walked on the path that i had set up. The second thing that I would have fixed is that In the project I set up delays so that you would not hear a constant loop of the two together but rather a offset mixture of the two. Unfortunately the effect that actually happened was that there were some people that walked through that did not hear a thing because they walked through right at the right speed where the pauses were playing. So they did not hear a thing. Over all I think that the project was a success in the fact that it opened my eyes to the possibilities of sound art, which is an area that I had not looked into much prior to the assignment.
