The title for my soundscape is Kitchen. I used a Tascam sound recorder with a sennheiser compressor mic to film the sounds of preparing a meal. I was originally going to create a single layered track with one sound going on at a time e.g. chopping, frying, getting pans out but when I came to edit it together it ended up that it sounded better with two tracks playing at the same time. I found that this gave the impression of an awkward cooking situation which is when I came up for the idea of having two people preparing dinner together in total silence. I found that the noises came across very acute and forceful, which adds to the idea of an awkward dinner time. I tried to make the soundscape into a crescendo the whole way through, adding more and more sounds and making the sounds nastier to listen to as the track goes on, ending in the sound of frying.
