Sounds of the Human Subconscious




I've noticed that every night at 1:00 a.m. my house comes alive with sound. I'm not sure what it is about this time, but my entire family seems to enter R.E.M. sleep around the same hour. They are all really active sleepers. From my own room - i am greeted with a cacophony of mixed sound. My father's rhythmic snoring, my mom's mutterings and my brother's sleep walking, yelling and talking. When these sounds combine, the noise is so loud is reverberrates around upstairs.

I've decided that for my audio project I will record the plethora of sounds seperately and edit my material into a mixed song of sleep; the sounds of the human subconscious.

This sounds like it could be a very interesting project. You may have to resort to sound effect CDs to supplement what you record, in which case we have a good collection in the AV library. It sounds like it may also be a piece for headphones rather than speakers in a room?
