TEAM B SOUND BRIEF

SOUND BRIEF

The overall theme for the studio project is based on the idea of Ying and Yang, we've called this piece 'Push and pull before cohesion.' Two opposites both equal to each other, played by two actors in a curtain covered room who perform a choreographed piece on their movements between the two. The end conclusion is that they come together and coexist in a harmonious fashion. 

 The idea for us is to get one of each. A violinist, guitarist and pianist (possibly only two out of the three.) this is to give Ying and Yang their own theme tune in a sense. Speaking with the team and the director, we’ll also create an abstract element to the piece by adding more unusual sounds such as a spring noise, rainmaker, heavy breathing, whooshing sounds etc... giving it a more artistic form. 

Some of the research below are references to some of the ideas we have presently for the piece, mostly being sound art installations. The idea first is to create a piece using two or three instruments and then tweak each of them to give it a different take on the tune. Each piece will be 2mins long so it gives us more variety when we go to post-production.

As part of doing the sound, we need to be aware of the musicians and instruments available to us, ensuring they have equipment and consider their fees covered. This is the first risk we need to be aware of before we began. Next, we’re considering if the instruments worked well with the genre or theme the conclusion will come to a combined tuned ending came using a violin for the positivity and piano for the negativity of the Ying and Yang symbol.

For the mix of sounds that will be played to an action or reaction, we’ll collect a set of common sounds during Foley room time on Tuesday 21^st Nov to 23^rd Nov and then enhance them through adobe audition or Pro tools by adding reverb or changing the speed in post-production. This will hopefully give the artistic form of sound we need to be abstract with the theme.
