Coming to the end of my experience at University, studying my degree in Sound Arts, it felt like a good time to utilise this module as an opportunity to brainstorm and externalise my future aspirations when it comes to the idea of living as an artist; discussing and reflecting upon the past three years and how it shaped my experience.
In second year, during my ‘Personal Creative Project’, which involved re-designing the sound and composing a new soundtrack for Dario Argento’s ‘Suspiria’, I discovered that I had a real interest and curiosity regarding sound for film; using foley techniques and also composing for a specific atmosphere. Below is a snippet of this project:
This project allowed me to become exposed to the idea of sound for film, as well as composition for film; both elements in which i practiced in this unit.
As time has gone on, I have explored a number of different films and their sound and soundtracks. Soundtracks, in particular have piqued my interest, particularly the works of Daniel Blumberg.
Above is one of the tracks composed by Blumberg and a number of musicians that he holds high regard to.
