Caleb's UBER ROUGH DRAFT

Rough Draft: Summer Blackout

An incredibly rough draft about the huge blackout in August 2003.

Hannah: Such a rough draft

Okay guys, This is a really really rough draft. The roughest, one might say. Just getting my ideas out of my head and into story form. You could maybe even consider this a "sketch." Let me know what you think though... Hannah

Michaela Byrne: Neighbours Project, Rough Draft

Rough Drafts

These are both possible drafts that I'm working on. The first is about meeting a neighbor (the problem is I don't know what I would do about the second neighbor for the assignment) and then the second is an idea that I'm experimenting. I always find 1st impressions to be interesting so I have an idea to ask people I know what they first thought of me before we became friends. I think it could be interesting or it could be a flop so I'm just playing around with it. I'm doing another recording this afternoon.

McClenon Very Rough Draft Neighbors-- Laptop

https://soundcloud.com/justclara-1/mcclenon-neighbors-rough-draft

Here is a very rough draft of my neighbors piece. I'm planning to gather more "laptop" sounds to layer throughout, and am thinking more about how to connect the idea of moving around to the laptop. I'm interested in the laptop as an object of independence--- that it allows you to be very mobile, and take your life with you, but at the cost of your laptop becoming your nearest neighbor, rather than people from the communities you actually inhabit. A lot for three minutes!

Neighborhood Rough Draft

Here are my two rough draft sound files for this assignment. The guy, Alec, that I interviewed had two separate stories about the two houses where he grew up and I'm not sure which one I like more. So, I'll post both!

Illustrated Conversation with Maurice Sendak and Terri Gross

Using the sound from a Terri Gross' interview with Maurice Sendak toward the end of Sendak's life, Christoph Niemann illustrated an intimate moment of conversation and and equally intimate moment of his own listening.
