Brainstorm Blog #2

During the pop quiz for this assignment I really enjoyed playing with echos and reverb with the sounds. I think these effects create a really cool emotional effect and create a lot of space within the audio. As soon as I heard the effects on the sounds I was reminded of disassociating and anxiety. The echoing and repeating delay effects make the audio feel as though it is a memory or an experience and is eerily similar to how I hear while having an episode. In my final assignment I want to portray this feeling of anxiety and dissociation even more. I even want the listener to start dissociating because of the effects of the audio. I plan on using heavy effects with delay and reverb as well as panning and fading in different noises to mimic mental health symptoms. I also plan to have the ending of the audio be some sort of climax representing the brain getting overwhelmed.
