Musique Concrete Project

Hello Everyone!

For my Musique Concrete project, I produced the piece "Cat Concrete" inspired by sounds from my cat Sophie and her toys. You can give it a listen below!



Take a look at the soundtrap file as you listen along 



The first low short sound you hear is the word "one" that we altered in class last Tuesday. In Audacity, I lowered the pitch and reversed the word. Next, I recorded my cat's meow. She 
isn't very talkative so I was only able to get a quiet, short meow from her. In Audacity, I 
maximized the sound by using the loudness normalization so it was more audible and also 
added reverb to it to give it a little more length. Next, I used her ball on track toy which is 
the sound that strikes and then continues on for a bit. You'll notice that it disappears and 
then returns, but is reversed when it plays back immediately after.  

  


The next toy that comes in is her ribbon squeaker, which I added a fade in and fade out to in Audacity. I also added in a few normal lighter clicks and reversed lighter clicks to the 
texture. 

Thank you for reading, and I wanted to give a huge thank you to my composition partner, 
Sophie!
