The sound I’m choosing to use in my scene is the keyboard typing noise. I can picture this sound in a scene set in a big city. Someone is in a room typing rapidly. Text message noises are going off. Noises in the city are in the background, such as cars honking and people talking. A phone rings for a while, but after a few rings, it is greeted by someone’s voicemail. Because of the typing, it becomes obvious this person is actually available but chooses to avoid this phone call. The mood in the room is tense. Someone sighs loudly. Someone begins to play music through speakers. At this point you can still hear the sounds of the city outside.

I envision this scene as a bombardment of technological noises. I want it to use noises from computers and cellphones to highlight the fact that there is an overwhelming variety of technologies today. What inspired this soundscape idea is a commercial on TV about the “Amazon echo”, which is basically similar to Siri on an iPhone, but it’s a product on its own. This made me think about how we are constantly being introduced to new technologies and how some of them may be pretty unnecessary. Therefore I want my soundscape to show how overwhelming the noises of day to day life today can be. These technological noises mixed with cars honking outside and other busy noises like that create an environment with a stressful mood.
