We, the group from 1P called WAVFiles were assigned the music project to create a sound scape relevant to RI.  Since it was relatively quiet when we were sent out to collect sounds, we reproduced the sounds, while ensuring that these could be found in RI.

  These included things like huffing and sighing, pen clicking, stomping of feet and we recorded the flowing water sound from the koi pond near the General Office.  Our next step was to organise this mess into something relevant to RI.  We used the sounds to generate a soundscape giving the feel of a typical RI day.

  From the flowing water, it symbolises the easy flow of the lessons as the day when by and hows it was like the teacher teaching, the flowing of knowledge from one person to another.  The pauses in this flowing showed tiredness and stop listening and the period that is everyone's favourite -- recess.

  The beeping sounds are the the chatter of the students in class, occuring all throughout the day and sometimes continuously. Toward the end of the day, the chatter becomes deafening as both the students and the teachers are dead tired.

  The stomping of feet are movements, both within the classroom a students answer questions or pass things around, with the highest point during recess where there are lots of sports, and eventually getting less as the students get more lethargic while the day flies by.

  The short duration of the clip is to symbolise how much can happen within such a short time frame.  The huffing in the clip represents the teachers droning in their lessons.

  All these go together nicely, an odd fact considering that all these sounds are distinctly different.

  This is done through the help of various effect like bass amplification etc.  one especially unique effect is the WahWah effect with gives the impression of the sound going from one ear to another.  It was relatively interesting to experiment with the various sound effects to make the entire piece fit together even though it may have been tiring.

  School may make students slightly lethargic, but that doesn't mean the lethargy isn't enjoyable! We hope you enjoy this piece and we would like to thank our teacher Dr. Ho for all his support and gentle guidance.
