Within this sound project we did not choose a specific place but we decided to take a more philosophical route, which brings me to the title of our sound project, The Cycle of Relationships. The sounds we used were mainly from our feet, voices, paper, and water, we wanted to keep it natural and see where our creativity would take us. I hope the choices we made in combining these sounds would create a symphony and have our audience interpret a message rather than searching for something familiar and labeling it. The first step in the cycle was internal questions being expressed in the “hmm-ing” in the beginning, questioning whether to begin as the two voices feel each other out. Second, is outward conformity where the two voices decide to follow one another, creating one sound and see where the song takes them. Third, is outward questioning, where the “hmm-ing” presents itself once relationship again, exposing aggressive listening and creating a stigma of pointing blame. Fourth is chaos which is the height of the disagreement creating animosity towards each other. Fifth, is solitude displayed by the singular voice with no other accompanying it. Sixth, is Compromise where the voices come back together even though not 100% satisfied on each side because each voice is giving up a piece of themselves in order to please the other. Seventh is outward questions presenting a positive form of conflict for the result of resolution and coming to an understanding. Lastly and with is harmony, which exposes togetherness, generating one beat/sound.
