My sound piece stimulates the listener to interpret what could be occurring at that moment. This sound media serves as an environmental message that certain people face in relation to their geographical location, bringing attention to the disruptive and sometimes blind behaviour mother nature provides.
The conceptual theme for this project centres around how living in a land without the fear of natural disaster is not as likely to occur, we have become unaware as for the unexpected dangers many people encounter more often than usual.
This piece takes inspiration from Samson Yang, a foley artist focusing on the U.S. bombings recreating sounds of carnage from instruments.
