here’s the homework for next week’s class!

#1

please watch the video on how sound works by Prof.Walter Lewin (MIT). This is a great introduction to the physics of sound. Please pay attention as we’ll discuss in class.

using the  9 images below create a soundtrack for each of the images.
you can record, sample, synthesize and/or use any means to create sounds to illustrate what you feel from these images!

Remember, you ‘ll need a sound editing application to work your sound bytes and you should familiarize yourself with one.
Audacity is a free, cross-platform and open source sound editor that I really recommend for this matter.

and here’s a quick intro manual:

Audacity allows you to export in a variety of formats, including .wav and .ogg but if you want to export .mp3 you’ll need to install the LAME plugin:
