I really enjoyed your soundscape. The manipulation of space was great, as I could hear all of the reverb placed on the piano and the footsteps walking. The panning of the footsteps really gives the effect that someone is walking from left to right and adds to the picture in my head of what is going on. I also enjoyed the width you gave it with the gate creaking in the right ear while the low rumbling of thunder was heard in the left ear. The Gestalt principle was used greatly, as everything was similar until the “I love you” came in, a good anomaly that caught my attention. This was also true with the thunder clap, and I have to say it scared me and caught me off guard. I really enjoyed the piece also because it played out like a movie. I could picture the man walking away and starting his car as well. Nice job, it was a really great soundscape.
I thought that your soundscape was a good depiction of the emotion “affection”. It was interesting that you took the emotion in several directions. First, by acknowledging the common connections between affection and love, including a person saying “I love you”. Then, you implied the hardships associated with spending time away from a loved one by including a thunderstorm and rain. You included footsteps slowly walking away to indicate that the person was thinking about their lover and that it would be sad spending time apart. To create movement within the clip, you explored space by panning the footsteps from left to right, and added reverb and echo to the background piano music and perhaps even the thunder. You also suggested the passing of time by introducing the thunderstorm suddenly and quickly moving away from the peaceful setting that accompanied the beginning of the piece. The piano music itself was also a wise selection, since it incorporated a dismal undertone and added emotion to the overall soundscape. I also thought it was particularly thoughtful of you to end the music when the thunder began, thus emphasizing the loneliness that the solitary lover likely experienced. I thought that your emotion was well represented and found your work to be quite admirable.
