I've started to work on a short animation by Joaquin Baldwin for this I have started to create the sound design for this, once this is complete I shall start work on the score, so far I have Used 3 sounds, One being a hair drier, one being some glass and the other an old used air horn, I have recorded all these with a dynamic microphone via a DI (Direct input).
A while ago I started reading 'Soundscape' by the school of sound, one chapter is entitled the absence of sound by Mike Figgis, towards the end of this chapter he states that someone had always told him that you cant use silence and if you wanted silence you must use 'approximated silence with room tone' which means you still have no silence but you have the room ambience only for example, chairs squeaking, lights computers humming etc. So with taking this advice I started to add 'room tone' to my piece to do this I thought the best way to do this was to add a fan humming in the background for this I used the recording of the hair drier.
