Last Friday I had a progress review of my experimental sound project before Simon and Joe to get some feedback and for them to see where I'm at with the project. After explaining my idea and showing them what I had created so far, it was obvious to me that some of the levels in my project needed changing. The music in my piece is much louder through the speakers in the room we were in than my own at home and so drowned out a lot of the other sounds that I wanted them to hear, which was quite frustrating but at least I know now.
Aside from that the feedback I got was constructive. Simon felt that I needed to place my piece in the time it is set much more, to let the audience know that is where we are. Joe seemed to like the piece and suggested that I look at more sounds that are created in the space of a city at night and a diner like the one in Nighthawks. He told me to dive into the culture of that time and really ram it home to the audience. Both Simon and Joe also agreed that there should be more of the piece set in the diner, and that there could perhaps be some sort of interaction between characters in the space.
Overall I thought it went well, I was aware that I still had a lot of work to do and that there was a lot more to bring to the piece.
