I used GarageBand to make this as that is the audio editing program I own and have used before. Through this project I actually learned a lot of skills that can also be used in Logic, etc, such as using audio control points to fade in and out of tracks and using effects and filters to enhance the sound. Here is a photo of the process:
When I first began this assignment I found it was a lot harder than I thought it would be to collect recordings of sounds of other cultures being stuck in one city in southwest England. Eventually though, using mainly my own recordings of buskers, transportation, etc but also some samples/loops and sound effects from GarageBand, I was able to find some ethnic sounds and music and sounds of transportation to evoke the feeling of going on a journey. There were also some bits where I recorded myself, such as the middle-eastern-sounding singing at 1:40.
Using sounds of western culture for the first 45 seconds, including church bells and a childrens choir that were singing 'Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye' (thought it was fitting) on the street one day, then transitioning through the sounds of transportation (a train, then an airplane taking off) to the sounds of crickets, African drums and singing, and so on, I wanted to create an atmosphere of traveling around the world and experiencing different cultures through sound. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the project and learned a lot through it.
