With the combined sounds of whirring fans, piano playing, running water and the flushing of the toilet, we constructed a melody. The sounds of whirring air conditioning fans, piano playing and the flushing of the toilet were obtained from the Artspace. The sounds of running water were obtained from the mini-fountain near the General Office. 

  The sound of running water were chosen to be the rhythm of the music as it provided a constant beat to the music. This is because the water would be constantly flowing from its faucet and the sounds emitted would not be subjected to significant changes.

  Random sounds of edited piano playing were inserted into the beginning of the melody. The piano sounds are edited differently. After the piano sounds and a period of running water sounds, the flushing of the toilet is played. This injects some humour into the melody created.

  After the flushing sounds, random intervals of the edited piano playing can be heard once more. After that, there would be the sounds of the air-conditioning fans to signify the end of the piece. A brief period of running water sounds follow.

  This is related to the theme, 'RI Soundscapes', as the piece of music is a conglomeration of different sounds obtained from differing places. It is thus a landscape brimming of differing sounds coming together and transforming ordinary sounds into music.
