On our soundscape, Laura and I planned out an outline and then worked in the details. It was pretty obvious to chose the opera style singing as our ambient sound, because "she" (or he...in this particular case) was continuing to yell! So we began to build an imaginary argument. I kept envisioning an angry lady in a kitchen wagging her finger at some kids horse playing or back talking. The kids continued to taunt her as she went about chopping up a chicken and putting him into a pot.
We had fun doing this, and the sounds really made me laugh the entire time. We listened to Barrett's voice so many times that we couldn't tell when it had stopped or started anymore... it was a part of our thought process! It ended up that we had two "waves" in the soundscape. It build up to a loud climax, and then yet another, before it faded out with the violin sound. I thought that this was a nice way to relieve the audience of the 3 minute opera. Putting in all of the various sounds of commotion was tedious, but I think we ended up with what we were looking for.
