Assignment4

I firstly added an audio clip from freesound.org as the bottom layer of the whole sound with a drug sequencer to control the rhythm of it.

The audio clip from freesound.org:

I selected this clip as I want to make the whole video more dynamic. The sound itself also conveys the basic idea of granular synthesis, as the rhythm of it is intensive and dense enough. 

Some effects have also been added to the original audios: chorus has been added to the second piece and the third piece has been added some delay on it. Both of these two effects are aiming at stripping the original human voice from the frames and making them abstract enough to represent the frames themselves. I want to let the abstract sound to show a kind of power and rhythm of the movement shown in the video. I kept the human voice from the first piece as I want there to be some sentences to be clear to create a contrast between the clearness and abstract sounds. I tried my best to make the effects close to the idea of granular synthesis. But I think there is still something I can do to improve and make the whole audio reflects a better understanding of granular synthesis.
