Telling a Story Using Only Sound

Students will work in pairs to produce a 1-2 minute audio piece documenting some type of process. In this case, a process is an act of human labor with a beginning, middle and an end. Artist statements should should include a discussion of both form and content in their creations, as well as both the process and the product of their own creative efforts. 

My classmate and friend, Pepe, joined me on this project. Our goal was to tell the story of a wedding ceremony as it is interrupted. Specifically, the process of a man objecting to a marriage. Our means for accomplishing this goal: native sound. We used no scripted narration to tell the story; only sounds that you might hear at a wedding ceremony. By organizing our collection of native sounds into a premeditated structure, we were successfully able to communicate the experience of an interrupted wedding.
