Proposal for soundscape

My proposal for a soundscape is based on the second type of soundscape in Barry Truax's paper, the moving soundscape. It is also influenced by the opening sequence of Orson Welle's film Touch of Evil, where the sounds followed a couple walking through crowded streets, with changing music and sound effects to create the effect of a journey using sound, shown below:



I would like to create a journey through cultures using sounds, contrasting western and eastern cultures - perhaps starting in an urban, western environment using sounds of traffic, buskers, trains, and then a sound of an airplane taking off, transitioning into soundmarks and traditional music such as folk dancing, chanting, singing, etc from cultures all across the globe.

To do this I would use sound bites filmed from my own travels or those of friends, record sound founds such as traffic or footsteps, perhaps use found sound bites on the internet if copyright laws allow and try to find international experiences in the city to record the music and sounds of different cultures.

The point of this would be to signify a journey across the globe, experiencing and creating the illusion of being immersed in different cultures through sound.
