This soundscape is an excellent example of the manipulation of time. As the scenes change and become more intense, the soundscape’s volume increases and additional layers of sound effects are added. The creation of the storm with layers of wind and splashing show the progression and growth of the storm over time, and also help create a sense of tension and mystery of whether the storm is getting heavier or lighter. Following the storm, things become quieter, but quickly escalate from whispers to sounds of bells, alarms, and sirens. The increasing speed of the heartbeat was a very creative way to build tension. This manipulation of space takes the viewer from a place of ease to a world where so much confusion occurs at once that they feel trapped by the noises surrounding them. I was amused by the absolute silence at the end followed by the soccer horn. (I wasn't scared one bit). It was funny, but unfortunately predictable. Better luck next time.
I enjoyed the causal noises such as the rain or owl hooting. It went along with the picture with the owl sitting on the chair and the hoot being heard in the background. The whispering near the end was creepy and great way to transition into the final piece of the soundscape. The manipulation of time and space was used greatly by the heartbeat near the end where everything seemed to come together. It seemed to echo near the end, which made space seem big and made it louder as well. The intensity increased making the song more creepy and interesting. Every picture was placed in the perfect position to represent what was happening in the song. With the thunderstorm and the floating house placed in the rain it seemed like you were there experiencing what was happening in the picture. The soundscape represented all of the pictures perfectly and the end was the best part. The blast of the horn was a great ending to a sneaking and intense soundscape. Overall the song represented space and time with echo and storms with thunder and rain dropping. It gave size to the picture and made you look beyond and view more space within such a small picture.
