DMA Assignment #7 - Audio Two! The Two's Audio! I got a brother and his name's Gizmo!

     Day 2 of audio exercises!  Huzzah!  Well, as my Facebook post indicated, I didn't really have any trouble using Audacity, since I was already pretty well-versed in the program.  Anyway, here's my audio composition:





     I guess I should mention the purpose of this thing and how it relates to me.  Basically, The people you hear cheering are meant to represent my desire to make other people happy.  I love when I do or say something that puts a smile on someone's face.  The weird instrumentation you hear (sampled from various Slipknot songs) is representative of my often blunt nature.  I'm not really one to sugar-coat things. And then the abrupt ending is meant to draw attention to the composition's meager length.  I'm 5'4".  Add it up.


     basically this whole piece, like pretty much everything I've ever done in Audacity came about through experimentation, which is why it sounds so weird.  This represents a lot of how I conduct myself creatively.  If I hit a block, I just try different things until one of them works.


     I learned that sonically, my house is pretty boring.  In fact, a lot of the area around my house is boring too.  That's why I had to sampled so many things.  Fortunately this is something I'm very used to doing and something I enjoy, so it wasn't that big of a deal.


Well, that's it for this, oddly short blog post.  Here's hoping the next one is longer, eh?


P.S.:  here's the song I referenced in the title of this post.  Just in case anyone is interested:
