Title: Dad by Day, Chef by Night
Spring 2024
Software: Audacity
For my audio project, I wanted the listener to to experience a day in the life of someone who takes care of his kids during the day and works in a restaurant at night and after it’s all over with, he finally gets some peace and quiet. I did so by combining six sounds using Audacity. I started off with a drumbeat and transitioned into street noise, kids playing, restaurant noise, and finally into some crickets. I liked working with effects like fading in and out to help with the progression of the story.
