Project two final

Life still goes on when you sleep. Nothing stops once your eyes have closed: the world keeps turning like it has for thousands of years. People die, people suffer, and time goes on. My intention in this project is to try to illustrate both the act of sleeping and this simple fact by turning more angry, negative sounds into a mostly peaceful, almost meditative soundscape. It begins with the sensation of falling asleep: a lull with a light noise of crickets, and the thump of blood slowing down throughout your body. Throughout the project, a slow thump repeats, representing the heart in the background of the sleep. The soundscape then moves into different lucid dreams. Some dream of life without pain, some dream about different worlds, or running between worlds. While we sleep we can have many different dreams. I show this by representing dreams as very surreal groaning noises comprised of several different sounds put together. The soundscape ends with a loud jolt, symbolizing the moment of waking: the jolt back to consciousness and everything in the world that suddenly reappears as it was before sleep.
