Whats your take

I am exploring two ideas for my sound piece.

The idea of square dancing, I am thinking of including square dancing music that abstracts, and the sounds of people's feet dancing, the sound of the barn-dance type calling of the dance steps. I think this will be hard to have access to, but I will try to find a barn-dance to record at. Also I can get music off CD, and record the other sounds, I would like to layer the barn dance music and maybe abstract it or use repetion of elements, or use some of the loops from the audio program to abstract the music. Also I would then be able to record fake speaking of calling the dance moves to layer over the piece. It would reference futurism by being abstracted, and by taking folk-type music and abstracting to modern music, maybe by using loops of other noise and instruments. It could be a barn-dance in the small confined city with futurist noise, and cramped space.

My other idea is probably easier for me to get material for. I have recorded some ambient noise at work and it will be easy for me to record more. I work serving beer, and it is in a small space. There are lots of coversations that are interesting that I can record at work. I would like to layer sound effects and conversations and narration to make the theme of one square metre more developed rather than just ambient noise.
