Night air

The night air program is inspiring. The way the sound has been built up an layerd is very effective. There are spoken narration sections, interviewed words, music and sound effects that have been brought together to create a new work that fits together so well. repetition of sounds, breaks from a background music track, and then returning to the background track provide a unity to the overall work. Repetition of key words or phrases, and good levels of sound at different points lead the ear through the work.

The importance of varios sections of layered sound builds up in volume, and fades out to the background behind another foreground sound as the piece progresses. This provides a unity even though there are many sounds to tie together.

I think I would like to make my sound piece have different layers as background, spoken word, ambient sounds, sound effects or samples and music. It is very effective to use repetition, and abstract the sound pieces to tie them together.
