Sonic Shockwaves

Hello! 

We are Michael Leong (20), Jonathan Leong (14), Timothy Tan (24), and Kwok Wai Kit (12). We went around the school recording everyday sounds, and later used a program called Audacity to edit the sounds. We combined all our sounds to make a really awesome soundtrack, even better that the Star Wars one! 

We named our track Sonic Shockwaves as we used a lot of wah-wah effects. Our sounds include water, someone buying a drink, a bin cover dropping, more water, us running up stairs etc. We edited each sound individually, but still kept an original part of the sound. Our sounds reflect the everyday life at RI and how time passes. The sounds speedup then slow down, symbolising how time passes without you knowing it, and we use the fade in and fade out technique, showing the start and end of a new day. We hope you enjoy our soundtrack and appreciate the cool name.

Happy NGing,

In the music piece, we used a mixture of both sounds and voices to incorporate the theme of a teacher-student relationship. The first section of the music shows what the teacher and student says when the teacher is about to "torture" the student. The second section of the music is what it sounds like when the teacher is in the act of torturing the student. 

We slowed the tempo down whenever the "teacher" spoke to give him a deep and evil voice while we sped the tempo up to increase the pitch whenever the "student" spoke to give the impression that he is scared of being tortured. The music gets slightly louder throughout the music, enhancing its dramatic effect. Also, we played parts of the music backward to make the music sound weird and unique.
