Through the previous stages of the assignment, we had reached the conclusion that we should each make an audio collage based on our interpretation of overpopulation.
When I think of overpopulation, my mind automatically goes to traffic, crowded places, loud voices, sirens, etc. I imagined myself walking down a busy street and tried to replicate the sounds I would hear.
By downloading some audio samples from Freesound*, I created an audio collage of people talking over each other, sirens, horns, phone ringing, crying baby, laughter and a background of music. I tried my best to make the sounds interesting by including fade-ins and fade-outs, tweaking the pitches, amplifying the sound and adding some echoes here and there.
