Divenire Ludovico Einaudi Voiceover

Wow I really think your idea is a creative and brave one! While pretty interested in listening to your project myself, I think it would be great to give a thorough, even lengthy description of what exactly you are doing. People might not be as familiar to audio projects as visual ones.

I'm impressed. This made me tense as it progressed, particularly with the sinusoidal sounds that you incorporated (though the high-pitched one was a bit too harsh, I thought my tinnitus was acting up again). I had this tense feeling as it went on, and then a sudden rush of adrenaline as the crowd roared at the end. I'd say that, other than the harshness of the high-pitched sine waves you added, the work itself turned out great. As Di said, I would go into a little more detail in the documentation, as audio is a little less familiar among the people compared to visual work.

This is absolutely wonderful, especially seeing how you decided to try to work with sound although according to the description this was the first time you were experimenting with it. And it definitely works; the build in the song itself and the increasing density of words definitely helps to expand the emotional depth of the piece. Also, any nervousness you mentioned in the description did not come out within the lyrics in the song, and for a first time audio work, it is great!

However, there are a few things to point out which could be improved. First, there is a hard cut in the audio at 2:09 and 2:28 which unfortunately causes slight interruption to the emotional build. Also, for further polish consideration, you might want to consider borrowing a mic from the IDeATe lending for recording the lyrics; there is a slight popping and fuzzy distortion to the lyrics, and also as a final sidenote you might want to play with your mic's input to avoid any distortions.

Still, it is great that you took the risk to work with a medium which you are completely unfamiliar with, and I cannot wait to see if you have any other audio projects in the future!

I really liked your project! I thought your idea was very creative, and you executed it very well especially as you had little experience with this medium! I also think you documented your thought and working process very clearly, and showed good mastery of the technical tools you used (I really like the static-y microphone effect!). I would agree that there were a few small technical details in the track that could be fixed; places where the music cuts or when the voiceover doesn't seem to align with the music. I also think it would be nice to get a little bit more context about the poem, so that it is easier to understand what emotions you might be trying to emphasize by adding music. But overall I think you did a really wonderful job and I enjoyed listening to this!

I love your creativity! It is very brave of you to create something that manipulates sound effects, which we haven't covered a lot in the course. It's also great for you to use an original poem, which is beautiful together with the music.
I would suggest that you be careful with the high frequency that you included in the music. Also, you might be able to find another way to better convey the sound of gun shot and clapping. Probably incorporate more sound effects related to running.
Overall it was great!

I actually replayed your work for 4 times. For me it is really enjoyable to listen, and the beats you've modified and added were beautiful. Manipulating sound is what I always wanna try to do, and your work definitely encouraged me to try doing sound relevant projects in the future.
