Brianna Leeds: Terrore Impetum

I created this composition as a first person experience. You the listener will become the “person” within the composition, and go through their series of emotional events. These emotions are a mental state of anxiety and panic with in a public space. It is a journey starting off in a loud busy environment which triggers their anxiety attack and leading them away from the environment they were once in, down to the sea front. In order for a full effect of ‘out of the normal behaviour’ I have exaggerated sounds to make it more intense.

Bio Brianna Leeds is a first year student at the University of Brighton. This composition was one of her first pieces created since starting the course, as well as her first experiment with surround sound composition. Brianna has always found music and sound effects combined really exciting, and fascinating, as one has the ability to paint a picture with only sounds, and alter a listener’s reality. You can create an emotional reaction by tapping into a person’s empathy, through your choice of instruments, and the specific arrangements of sounds.
