Project 1: Sound Journey: Rainforest Photoshoot

http://www.smcm.edu/users/aamiller/rainforest.mp3

For this project I created a journey that captures the movements of a photographer traveling through the rainforest to get a shot of some of its amazing wildlife. The journey starts out in a canoe out on a river along the rainforest. The canoe meets with land and the photographer makes their way through the dense forestry. The footsteps are slow and accompanied by the sounds of rain dripping, frogs, and birds. As the photographer moves further into the rainforest the natural background sounds begin to increase in volume and move more to the middle ground. Briefly the walking ceases and listeners can hear the shutter of the camera going off. After the photographer captures their image they continue on to a new destination and all the sounds gradually fade out. Below is a list of the sounds I used in this piece and who the original creator was:
