Class 1 Homework Assignment: the art of the scene
Using one of the anecdotes you generated (or a new one) – make a 3 minutes audio piece zooming in on a single aspect of it.

• This could look like dropping in and out of the anecdote cold, using narration and/or sonic elements 

• Hyper-focusing on one aspect, sound, word, etc. of the story and meditating on it or playing with it (eg. the cocka-doodle-doo of a rooster chasing you, your partner’s um when they lie)

• These are just examples, interpret this as you’d like – there isn’t a wrong way to do it.

• If you think you’ve zoomed in enough, zoom in even further!!

• Upload Assignments here -- 24 hours prior to class for the chance to be played in the next class. If you miss that deadline, please still upload your piece before class!

  • Please upload as .mp3 file using the naming convention "Name_HW1_title". Thank you!​
     

 

Course Final project: something big, something small  

Ie. Taking something that feels big and going really small. 
This week:

• Ideate on what you’d like to make, gather your sounds, research your topic, write out your words, start gathering tape in the form of sounds, archival, interview, reporting, or conversation. 

• You can do this work for several different ideas. This is an important part of the creative process!

• NOTE: “big” can mean a lot of different things. Emotionally. Physically. Politically. Geographically. Spiritually. 

  • It’s easy to think of “good” stories as one’s centered around trauma, your own or other people’s, and they don’t have to be.
