During this weeks class we got to experiment with contact microphones and hydrophones. We were given a visual demonstration of how the kit works and how to set it up and in pairs/small groups we were given the microphones and asked to go out onto campus and experiment recording different sounds and see what sort of outcomes we could get from doing so. My group and I were lucky enough to be given one of the two hydrophones so we went straight to the stream of water that surrounds Falmer Square and tried it out. The sounds that we were able to get from the hydrophone were really entertaining as it really made you feel as though you were underwater and it was really cool that we were able to create that effect using the kit. Other sounds that we recorded included metal railings/wooden objects and the sounds created by tapping them, slinkies etc.
We then came back into class and experimented with different effects on all of the sound clips in Adobe Audition and mixed them into one long piece. We were able to reverse, loop, speed up/slow down the clips and the sounds that were created by using these simple effects was quite extraordinary! Unfortunately the export of my file corrupted and I lost my entire session so I was unable to post it onto my soundcloud.
