Jirathitiwanitkun Aurathai Sound+Space DIS Soundscape Echoes Project

An immersive AR Soundscape designed to replicate the sounds predominantly rooted within a hiking trail, amongst an ambiance of pure organic materials- ironically constructed with recordings of synthetic/ artificial sounds that have been edited to mirror the qualities and masquerade as the organic sounds of nature. As you make your way through you will be greeted by a rushing stream of water that lures you into a veiled cavity within the forest that encapsulates you, sheltering you amidst a curtain of tall trees lined with shrubs that stretch around the border of this organic cavern. These establishing sounds are designed to parallel "The Grotto", situated in the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. I've chosen this location because I felt it materialized my concept quite effectively. I wanted a place where the transition from a completely undisturbed organic space to a heavily industrialized environment would be fairly stark, and therefore intensify my intent by emphasizing the illusionary qualities of my composition. Upon initiating these initial recordings, it begins to sprinkle with"rain" before thundering down in a heavy gush. The skies begin clearing as you edge the conclusion of the walk nearing the exit of the grotto which leads you to a completely juxtaposed setting of a cityscape with tall grey buildings that stretch across the horizon. As you enter the footpath and conclude your walk, you will approach a crossing, simultaneously the familiar sounds of a "beg beeper", posing as a sort of alarm to awaken you from this trance to meet the industrialized reality awaiting you ahead. This soundscape is developed with the intent to allude to the growing environmental calamities specifically with regards to its acceleration through human involvement; poverty and food waste, pollution, overuse of greenhouse gasses, etc. which is paralleled with the "industrial" synthetic sounds, that are used to replicate the organic sounds that they pose as, (and landscape awaiting you at the conclusion of the walk) highlighting inaccuracy and impaired attempts to replicate or restore them. Ideally, the intent is not to educate what we already know, but to stress the imperativeness of taking action whilst there still is time.

A journey through Southbank, documenting the long and diverse history of the present-day socio-cultural hub, passing by some of the areas most popular tourist locations.

The yarra combination aims to explore the relationship between nature and society, as everyone can see the riverbank is a location where you can physically be in nature and society at the same time. But what is the riverbank actually like when there is no human? How is it changed step by step? This is what I am trying to explore......

The music of the exhibition, the sound of my guitar playing, the sound of bells, birds chirping, and the sound of boiling water and rain combined to create a comforting sound.

Our plan was to go in in the opposite direction. Due to Melbourne Central's high volume of travel and commotion, our group wanted to gather sounds from the area, replace them with sounds of relaxation away from the site, and create a soundscape that serves as a meditation for passengers to enjoy as they enter the station. We collected sounds from playgrounds, water running from the sink, birds chirping, actual sounds from the site itself and turned them into sounds that can take people back to the memories of a holiday. Our intention is to transport people to a relaxing vacation spot where they can relive their favourite moments. We began by recording sounds on the actual site and using reaper to transform them , but we soon realised that we needed sounds that were completely different from the ones we could hear and record at Melbourne Central. As a result, we decided to gather sounds from both the site and away from the location. We also came up with a series of drawings that enabled us to comprehend sounds in our own unique manner and to include all aspects of them that we deem significant

The soundscape is created by combining the sounds heard at the train station and the library. It is created for people who want to experience the library and train station ambiance at the same time since people can see that there are lots of activities happening in the library such as reading, talking, or doing work at the station as well. It helps people relax, focus, sleep or simply get through the day.
