My piece asks the user to explore the ambient sound and room tones of places a person visits. The question that is asked with the piece is what are the sounds in the background of our life, our consciousness.
The experience I want to create for the user is an exploration of the sounds that surround us. I will use ambience from a day in my life from all the places I go. I will put each place on a separate audio track, and will give the user the option to turn on whatever tracks they choose. They could listen to the collective ambience from all of the places in a day, or they could go chronologically or any other way they would like to explore. By user testing in class, I would like to see what experience is created for the user, and what experience the user creates for himself or herself.

Timeframe for steps:
1) Gather audio from a day in my life and digitize it. - One-two days
2) Edit audio for lengths of tracks if too long - One day
3) Create an application in Processing with the titles of the audio tracks in a list -One day
4) Add buttons to the titles of the tracks to turn them off or on - One day
5) Link songs to buttons in application/familiarize myself with minim? - Two days
6) Touch ups/Adjustments
