Brainstorm

We had a brainstorm today about our soundscape. The Sci-Fi theme is something we are keen on so sticking with that. However, we are thinking less deep space, more futuristic city.

To allow us to have the most scope for a variety of sounds and to help us make the piece as interesting as possible, we are thinking we shall have our music set in a dystopian city, specifically on a street. We may even have it through the eyes of a character, so the piece would begin with person A walking up, as if knocking out - or something along those lines, in the street, sounds gradually filtering into their consciousness.

Inspiration wise, my mind leads to the epic film that is Blade Runner


I imagine our soundscape to be a bit like the scene at the beginning of Blade Runner, where we see Harrison Ford eating noodles on a street that has so much going on.

By doing something similar I think we can incorporate some really great stuff into our track, especially as the idea doesn't really restrict us in anyway; anything can happen. However, we to need to keep it constructive and not over complicate things for ourselves. Initial ideas about what might take place on this imagined street are people talking, arguing, having physical fights as well as sounds of all varieties of transport. I think it would also be great to record just little things that you hear when you walk down a main street, such as snippets of conversations and activity within shops, restaurants and cafes. Industrial and mechanical sounds I think are key too. Might try to include a dog bark or two in it as well.
