Memory Soundscape Concept

The memory I want to focus on for my memory soundscape project is cooking with family. Food has always been a big part of my life, and it’s also my favorite way to connect with my culture. My family would often have big gatherings where my aunts would prepare lots of food together in the host’s kitchen, so I want to emulate this kind of scene. The type of feelings that I want to convey with this are domestic and heartwarming. Since cooking itself is a homely activity, I plan to use lots of generic kitchen sounds, like chopping, water boiling, sink running, etc. Since I also want to convey a domestic environment, I also want to include sounds of many different people as a family, like kids running around, people communicating in the kitchen, laughing, etc. I think with a mix of human and kitchen ambience, I can successfully produce a domestic and heartwarming feeling through this memory.
