Sound Memoir Proposal

There aren't many different things in my life that I would find interesting, but one thing that I consider to be routine and could make for an interesting project subject would be my life at church. There are many different ways I could record this part of my life. My beginning would probably be an introduction to the commute it takes me to get to church. I could easily record on my phone the drive from either my home or campus to church. I could record this drive on either Tuesday, Friday or Sunday. All of these days I go to church and depending on how much noise there is in the car I will have to pick from those different times. Tuesday will probably be the best time to record as I drive a lot more people on Tuesday which could make for an interesting setting. The second setting I was thinking of using was the moments that lead up to the praise and actual servise. Usually there are a lot of people who come early, myself included, in order to meet up with people we haven't seen in a while. It all makes for an interesting time and I'm sure that I can find a lot of use for it. The third setting I was going to use was an actual sermon that the pastor would be speaking at. I don't know how much of this I will include because it seems a little tedious especially if the person reading it doesn't have much of experience with  the church. My final setting will be the time of fellowship that we always have after the sermon. Depending on the day, it can differ from day to day and can include many different settings that maybe able to be incorperated into the audio file that I plan to make

Overall, I believe that this routine is one that happens almost three times a week in my life and I think that it would be an interesting topic to make for my project as I don't believe that there aren't a lot of people who go to a church like mine which mostly consists of Korean-Americans. Maybe to make the sermon a little less dull, I can grab a few recordings of the Korean service instead to make it seem a little more diverse. In anycase, I believe that this project will satisfy all the requirements of the project.

The timeline of this project will go as follows:
Feburary 6th: Get Tuesday driving recording. Get time before sermon recording. Get fellowship recording.
Feburary 9th: Get Friday driving recording. Get time before sermon recording. Get fellowship recording. Get (English) sermon recording.
Feburary 11th: Get Sunday driving recording. Get (Korean) sermon recording. 
March 26th: Due Date. Project will be turned in.

Any time that is in between will be spent learning to to cut the audio and allow for it to flow with each other in a proper manner.

From the audio (03/05/2018): One of the most interesting things that I think I could implement into my project is the inclusion of audio that comes before introducing each segment. It flowed so well together and I can only hope that I will have that kind of flow in my project.

•Helen Wilson notes that voices do not just transfer information. Voices also “make” spaces by contributing volume, intonation, frequency, pitch and accent as a nexus point for identity and socio-political conditions. Additionally, these voices or “vocal utterances offer their own auditory geography. What voices have stood out to you and why? (Think cultural/political/historical influence) •What does it mean to  listen through place  and not just to it? •Consider a cause related to social justice that could be approached through sound. What would you do? How would you capture the sound? How would the sound contribute to the cause or issue you selected? One universal sound that I think pepole can think of is medication commercials. After every one of these commercials, there is a slew of information and disclaimers about defects that can occur when taking this medication. This brings senses of discomfort to me and unkowningness. Reminds me specifically of just sitting in my r

Script (Rough Cut) - Sound Memoir

*Start with car ride* Ah the kids… It’s quieter than usual. Probably because a lot of them couldn’t make it tonight. I hope that all of them are doing well. The usual cacophony seems to be absent from the usually chaotic car. At least the ride will be somewhat quiet this time and I won’t end up with a splitting headache. I hope everyone is doing okay… *Praise songs* I always found comfort in the praise part of service. A bunch of voices all singing praises with one sole focus. It’s odd that this sense of conformity doesn’t bother me. I always seem to feel another presence in the room that compels me to listen closely. A pull that breaks barriers between disbelief and salvation. *Moments after service* Ah… Lessons are over… It’s time to relax and catch up with everyone and their lives. I hope everyone’s week went well and that we were all able to be productive. *Fellowship* I never really understood this part… We always go out to the same four places and I always f

SSR #3

Ryan Um Due Date: 03-14-2018 Professor Brooks English 320 SSR #3: The Sound of Mood-sic Summary: One thing that Cheng emphasises in his recollection of blowing up the fictional town of Megaton is the music that he was listening to when he pressed the button to blow up the town. The Sousa march he was listening to had compelled him to press the button that was in front of him (47). And music, in this sense, does affect our mood and how we do certain actions. It’s astounding to look at the many different ways that music can affect us and the actions that we take to comply with the tone of the song. Synthesis: The utilization of music seems to be evolving every day. It can be used to adjust mood, provide comfort, and even make political statements. One use that people do not really think of is the utilization of music as a weapon. In the Auditory Culture Reader , Suzanne Cusick goes into detail on how this has been done. It seems like music was utilized in a manner th
