Assignment 3: Modern Electroacoustics

The original sound is a lecture about modern electroacoustics. I recorded balloon pops in the back of the Philip Chosky Theater in its Projection Bay and in a 4 story stairwell. I took the second impulse response, added a Wah Wah effect in audacity, and reversed it. Finally, I took a clip from the beginning of Steely Dan’s Babylon Sisters. I really like the flutter from the Projection Bay and I think that Babylon Sisters is interesting because you can hear the song at points clearly, and there are points where you can hear the audio track more clearly — but never perfectly — and I think that back and forth is very interesting.
