“The Pulse of Chambers Street”

Semester & Year: Spring 2025

Software Used: Audacity

This audio portrait captures the energy of a busy street intersection near BMCC, blending traffic noise, subway sounds, and voices to reflect the daily movement of students and city dwellers. I combined five different sounds. Also layered them to create a sense of rush and excitement. Crosswalk beeps and subway announcements act as rhythmic elements, while background chatter adds authenticity.

Below are the links of the audios that I used for my project. I also used my own recording as a main narrator.

“A Lonely Gecko and His Friend”

Spring 2025

Made with photoshop

I reworked my last project. Added some patterns and layers from a new image. New image is about some northern lights.

On the picture, a pigeon is talking with his friend gecko about their life. Under a moonlit night on top of a NY skyscraper.

I used the below image for the pattern.
