AUDIO PORTRAIT OF A PLACE

Create an audio portrait of a place. This project will have 2 parts, recording audio and editing audio. You will record sound, using your smart phones or other devices. You can be in small groups for support and sharing audio files. In the editing process, you can combine the material the you have recorded has recorded with other audio files if they are Creative Commons licensed, in the public domain, or classmates’ recordings if they share them. The finished audio file should be at least one minute and no longer than three minutes, and should combine at least five different sounds. Try to tell a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. The listener should be able to envision specific streets/environments/people etc. when hearing your piece.
