Naomi // Visual Sound Score
Watching everyone perform with their sound was so serene. Left me with a sense of quiet.

I’d be really interested to do this like while walking through a city!
Nolan B // Sound Score
I found my sounds to be very busy — how do I represent EVERYTHING? I wished I had gone back and found a quieter space. Maybe then I could have had a little more nuance to my work…
Sound Score // Kaya Prasad
When I made my score I was paying attention to several different sound sources and the way they layered over each other. Then when I choreographed movement to my score I attempted to convey this layering by performing certain movements continuously or with variation and executing other movements as discrete, accented moments. Given my limited ability to isolate different parts of my body at the same time, I sometimes had to make choices about which continuous movement would be interrupted by an accent movement, and I attempted to base this decision off the shapes in the score rather than what was easiest or most obvious for my body.
Sound Score // Nolan Schoenle
I chose to focus on foregrounding the steady beeping of the ultrasonic bird repeller despite the lawnmower being the more prominent sound in the recording. I have a hard time creating movement to be memorized and performed again so I latched onto an ever-present sound that I could use as a starting place.
Sound Score // Jacob Leder
There was a constant hum in the recording; the white noise we talked about, which I tried to represent through the small, repeated patterns in the score. When things cut through the white noise, like a footstep or a honk, this became a jag. But these sounds weren’t disruptive or jarring, they fit right in, so I decided to keep my movements as smooth as possible.
Sound Score // Jin Chang
My site had lots of white noise. This white noise often gets forgotten after a few moments of being in the space. So I wanted to play with the idea of subtle movements that would not normally be recognized as a “dance.” Furthermore, I focused on the tactile element of the movements. I chose to emphasize the tactile because our tactile senses are always being engaged, but we are not always aware of it. In that sense, our touch acts as a type of white noise as well.
Zoe Fruchter // Sound Score
I was surprised by how dramatically I recorded my score after I returned to the audio file. I realized that, while writing the score, I had effectually chosen some aspects to be amplified and others to be “background.” I wonder why I made the choices I did.
