The memory that I want to pick as the subject for my Memory Soundscape project is the memory of walking down a city street in the winter (or even during Christmas season). I wanted to pick this memory because as the weather is getting colder and we are nearing the end of the year (aka Christmas) I have been getting more and more homesick for the things I used to hear and feel back home. I wanted to replicate these sounds as a way for me to remember and reminisce about the times I used to hear these sounds. With Christmas often being referred to as a magical holiday, I wanted to emulate those feelings of magic and awe through my sounds.
Some sounds I can incorporate in my soundscape are feet crunching through the snow on the pavement (or just footsteps on a sidewalk), the movement of cars with some honking noises, the noises of very strong winds, and perhaps the jingles of Christmas bells. I want the elements of a city and strong winter weather to be represented in my soundscape so that I can create an experience for listeners that they can hopefully recognize and identify with.
